I'm really an engineer, a builder. My work is often a long game: for example the ongoing townscapes series that hold generational life stories from the everyday to power, politics and international migrations. I collect ideas, images and things, then I play around with composition. Finally, I assemble the pieces: real or imaginary townscapes, 3-D print sculptures, asemic writing/shapes, paper and found materials re-imagined into a final piece. Sometimes I start with a specific idea, sometimes the journey dictates the outcome. Always, always, the journey is important and the outcome underpinned by research.
