Both as an individual and as an artist, I have always been interested in the ancilliary and incidental aspects of the world we inhabit; a recorder of those experiences and tales, both real and apocryphal, which often go un-noticed or are easily forgotten. Visual visitations and summoned doppelgangers collide within my work to produce multi-layered, collaged images which can often be read as rebus or visual enigmas without a codex.
