Light is a catalyst in my work. I distort the perception and blur the boundaries of a darkened space through<br />
the manipulation of light and sound within it. The lack of visibility and orientation in the spaces I create<br />
challenges traditional viewing experiences and immerses visitors within a constructed total environment. The<br />
perceptual experience of the viewer is integral to my work, and I am interested in how the p<strong>art</strong>icipant’s senses<br />
are stimulated. The use of everyday objects, such as cheese graters, alongside other materials and perforated<br />
metals transform and disperse light into new forms, creating unfamiliar conditions that unsettle the everyday<br />
environment. Combining the familiar with the constructed transforms and elevates the mundane into<br />
something more sensational. In encountering this the viewer is separated from the outside world and taken<br />
into a new and <strong>art</strong>ificial environment, shifting the ordinary into the unknown.<br />
