STATEMENT
If you imagine that the sun is not 865,200 miles in diameter but roughly the size of a tennis ball, earth is approximately the size of a pinhead and this pinhead would be 12 metres away from the tennis ball sun. Jupiter is the size of a green pea about a football pitch away and another 3 and a half football fields away is Pluto, a spec of dust.


The earth orbits the sun in such a way light will never fall on an object in the same way twice. Perhaps this is an obvious statement to make but light has the ability to transform the mundane in to the magical. Within my practice I am concerned with exploring and juxtaposing my own emotional responses to the light in my immediate environment with contemporary and historical thought (philosophical/scientific) on its nature and origin.

In recent works I have digitally recorded and re-presented the phenomena of light through utilising the book structure (sometimes physical, sometimes metaphorical). Through engaging with the qualities inherent to the book form: page, order, sequence, and through these, contained duration; I draw attention to specific moments in time and space.
