Artist Statement
My practice examines the effects and implications of violence, trauma and conflict within contemporary society. This ongoing theme of violence whether implicit or explicit, physical or psychological, runs through most of my work. We are all subjected to conflict, at different degrees and at different stages of our lives, whether this conflict is personal or collective, emotional or familial, social or cultural or even political.
Process Statement
The Abu Ghraib series investigates the consumption and treatment of public images in circulation within contemporary society. It questions our ability to process, reflect and ultimately understand the meaning of the image in a world hyper saturated with images that may well alter our perception and understating between reality and factuality.
