ABOUT

Am a multidisciplinary artist whose practice embraces a wide range of media, including drawing, installation, publishing, video and performance. My main area of interest is human relationship with places and history.
I am interested in the relationship between context and meaning. I use my works as an investigation into how we understand ourselves and our surroundings through images and sound.
I am a member of Le Stanze Segrete.
And co-founder of DFRG Press London.
My books have been acquired by private and public collections includin The Oslo National Academy of the Arts Library, Swarthmore College Lafayette College, Salon fur Kunst Buch Wien, Internationale Jugendbibliothek München, State Library NSW.
