The main topic of my work looks at how we, as a society, shape our identity and intimacy through mediated environments such as the internet and how these environments inform each other. My work ranges from mixed-media installations and online-based work to more traditional forms of narrative. I work from a mix of theoretical and practical research to bear upon the creation of textured work that explores the implications of the intimate relationship we have with technology and the online world.
I see my work as a free space; a place where morality gives way to nuance, humor and empathy. In my practice I explore the way we look at online culture and our own positions within it while remaining critical of the social, cultural and economic structures that create inequality within and outside this sphere of online intimacy. By treating subjects with subversive humour, I try to seduce the viewer to ask questions, which are enclosed in the way I approach everything, but not in a dogmatic way.
