Experience

I create Minumental artwork that explores how humans perceive extremes of scale. Minumental: working with small things to create something that is monumental in feeling or scale. The work uses photography, sculpture and light. All works play with perception allowing viewers to imagine and create alternative readings of space. The works are site specific and have existed in unusual architectural spaces; medieval vaults, an 18th century folly, mansions and a yurt.
