My practice is predominantly focused on the in between, the transitional, and the innate fear associated with this position – the uncanny. A primal fear of the internal unknown. I am interested in art’s similarity to dreams in its ability to access and explore these fears.

I am naturally drawn to film making because of its quality of being neither completely fictional nor an accurate transcription of reality. I often explore works that exist between mediums: combinations of film, sculpture and optical illusion.

My work often uses animals as the representation of this in between state. Beings that exist between us and inanimate objects. In particular, not domestic or exotic animals, but those familiar and yet un-anthropomorphised – fish, birds, rabbits and horses. Animals that exist captively and yet behave completely instinctively. Representing the uncanny, ‘the other’, existing with us and yet beyond our understanding.
