At the heart of my practice is an enduring fascination with the field of forensics: methods, techniques, philosophy, and practice.
I have previously produced works in response to various areas attempting to establish linkages between forensics and studio practice exploring, exploiting, and co-opting techniques, glossaries, and terms in addition to consider and attempt a ‘forensic mind-set’ or contribute to a ‘forensic aesthetic.’
The works produced from this co-optive encounter are pierced, punctured, or hammered sheets of white paper. There is a marked tension between the quietness of the work and the premeditated violence used to create them.
