The focus of my work is the relationship between mankind and the environment. I am fascinated with the paradox that each of us is unique, while at the same time we are only organisms in the same way as billions of other organisms on the planet. I explore this paradox using sculpture, installation and sound.

I have a wide experience of art projects in education and I am particularly interested in work which involves the general public.
