A primary driver of my interests is the notion of an interconnected and interdependent universe. This can be in the physical or behavioural world, and on an individual or societal level. Therefore, systems, structures, formulas, modularity and patterns all manifest themselves in my work.

I work intuitively, mostly making works in series which are not planned to produce any set number of works, rather until it seems the right time to explore other thoughts. I will often return to themes and repeat or reinterpret, so overall feel that there is a sort of drift of ideas which I follow, allowing the process of making to determine a way forward.

During my time at The Camberwell College of Arts, I came across an essay ‘The Modularity of Knowing’ by the physicist Philip Morrison. It immediately struck a resonance with me which I still feel today.

Indeed, we nowadays regard all the world as built out of certain subatomic fundamental modules, or particles, whose classes we are still enumerating. Why they are precisely identical by classes we know not. They seem to occur in families, as the tiles of a mosaic, grouped not by colour but by sets of other intrinsic properties. They interact with each other in ways which are complex, but which themselves reflect a complex set of essentially discrete rules. Out of all this tangled skein time has woven the fabric of the world.
