The work of art, architecture or scientific advancement originates  from the uncertain space between states: the known and unknown, to what is  beyond measure.

            My work ranges from the figurative  arts and observational landscapes to layered abstractions. Conventions become a  catalyst for new discoveries, somewhere between the real and imagined space of  observation. The radically subjective observer navigates through this  technoscape; in time, to be revealed as an artefact encoded by the “accident”  of things, intrinsic to the processes of invention that are technologically  generative.

Surface observations are a bridge to the traces of an imagined  product. A structured process leads to indeterminate outcomes. The accident is  the primary element of creative invention, uncontrollable and only understood  over time; or otherwise beyond measure…
