Profile

My most recent research has been in collaboration with two other artists under the name Virus. Virus began in late 1996 as an ideas based discussion group. Working with the dynamics of pre-existing givens in each project Virus aims to question the inherited systems of collaboration, production, authorship and interpretation.

Virus examines the latent history of the area(s) in which the artwork will be realised and exist, investigating the potential of using the existing fabric of the immediate environment as raw material for appropriation into art events and objects. Implicit in this process are notions of distillation, relocation and transmogrification.
