Projects

Questions recur across the practice and change as they move through materials, scales and sites. Some develop over years as artistic research; others take form as site-specific proposals, exhibitions and curatorial projects.

RESEARCH PROJECTS 
I.    MORPHOGENESIS
1998–2013 
Where does form begin?

Developed through painting, glass and printmaking, MORPHOGENESIS follows how form emerges through repeated material experimentation and how one work can leave a question active for the next.

II. LIQUID FRAGMENTATION
2014–2019
How does form fragment and reorganise?

The project follows fragmentation, repetition and changes of scale across painting, ceramic elements,relief and installation, as forms are broken apart and reorganised under new material conditions.

III. ARCHITECTURE OF THE SCAR
2020–Present
When does a Scar become structure?

Through cutting, excavation, relief and printmaking processes, the project follows how a trace can remain within a surface and become part of its structure.
