| As an interdisciplinary artist, my practice is at once a multi-dimensional venture, the immediate surrounding environment forming part of the concerns with space and its multi-sociological effects on the human phenomena and likewise, thereby transcending this concept onto the universal platform. This deals with the human encroachment on a natural bio-topography and how this has affected and effected the evolvement of the environment in which we live. Therefore my work defies and transcends any traditional labeling, which only serves to entrap the integrity of the work. My work is informed by and engages performance or implied movement, sound, sculpture and installation. For me, art is not solely a visual enterprise. There is a certain filmic approach to my work, which transforms- most importantly- space and environment through the use of clothing forms and textiles,fibres, paper, clay, wood, photos and other mixed media. I have also experimented with musicians and dancers in productions. The work is inherently visual as much as it is tactile, aromatic(good or bad), tasteful/less, performative, silent/loud- all the makings of an architectural/filmic opus. You can hear the smell, see the sound and feel the taste. It is that overlapping of the senses which define my oeuvre. |
