Art Now (2005 to present), (Now Then: a performance, 1979), Graphite on paper, each 55.9 x 76.2 cm, From the drawing project of over 100 iterations to date, 2013

My practice is about the precarious relationship art has to its own definition – open, half open or slightly open for re-organisation at any given time. These varying degrees of openness create spaces that give way to meanderings, processes and procedures. My work is situated there, in moments where active forms of viewing create circumstances that adjust from one understanding to the possibility of another. I’m interested in situations where you-the-viewer and me-the-viewer experience works as full participants, interacting co-creatively, forming and re-forming priorities, with an unencumbered view between my involvement and yours.
