ARTIST STATEMENT
Throughout my practice there is an ignorance to systems of language. This consistent theme speaks directly of a personal difficulty with communication and verbal expression. My work attempts to draw relations to wider phenomenologies of thought and language including the impossibilities of translating existential experience coherently into language, personal insecurities with speech and vocabulary, and curiosities in developmental psychology. this occurs not only in the abstraction of texts which form works of incomprehensible writing, but also in experimentation with the introverted presence of the body in performance and installation. My work attempts to articulate these ideologies through a passivity that is created in the visual subtleties and ephemeral nature of the materials being utilised.
