Artists Statement
In my work, which sits between land art and landscape photography, I create new, imaginary environments and situations. I create a scene and document, using both traditional sculptural methods and new digital imagery techniques.
I use the power of (documented) intervention and research, in a place and time specific way, to respond to these contemporary questions.
