Welcome to my website. I make work that exists at the intersection of art, history, politics and culture. My topics are drawn from personal experiences, family histories and contemporary events. When I make art, I feel a sense of continuity where time is a concept and all things are happening in the present moment. I create work which I hope engages others at an emotional level, which encourages dialogue, healing and reconciliation, within the self and the world beyond.
