About the Exhibition

My current work explores the connections between traditional media and how it interfaces with digital technologies specifically aimed at the growing vocabulary of print based processes. Using digital tools as aids, my work is built up in layers where linear elements, geometry and symmetry, are embedded and superimposed on open and fluid spaces.

While the use of digital applications has become a significant component of my practice it is important that my own hand can be seen in the work. I am interested in the disjunctive qualities of analogue and digital print processes when they are combined, and the potential point in which they converge and become symbiotic.
