It infers states of psychological discomfort and ensuing behavioural conditions such as obsessive behavioural patterns, paranoia, a compulsion to control, agoraphobia, claustrophobia etc. My practice is multidisciplinary and location is fundamental to my concerns. I use installation as a material through which the emotive experience of a space is manipulated to create a disorientating psychological environment. The spaces I interfere with become highly sensory environments. Using devices such as sporadic sound, live malfunction, scale, and the multiple, I wish to affect the psyche of the viewer through an involuntary, sensory response to the work.
