Artist Statement

For the last few years I have been trying to find a way to bring my work and ideas back home to share with others who have maybe been struggling to cope or understand what living in a space like this may be about as a creative individual rather than an electoral commodity or unit of labour or consumption.

This is my occupation- my process. I want to or would like to … occupy this gallery space, one associated not so much with investigation, but exchange with my process … so investigations from various bodies or series – ongoing will be presented. Occupation as process. Process as occupation.
