For twenty years I have worked at the nexus between art and science, beginning in 1996 with Geoderma, a collaboration with Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines, an exhibition which toured Australia and was shown in the London Festival of Electronic Arts.

Since arriving in Australia I have explored specific sites and natural phenomena occurring in diverse locations. These have included studying the Aurora Borealis in Lapland (Painted Sky); endangered sea birds on Christmas Island (Auspex Australis); and the US space station relics in the Esperance Museum (Skylab).

Recent work 'Video for Synaesthetists’ is an experimental film – a collaboration between myself and UK sound artist Justin Wiggan. The work is an abstracted and poetic visual response to Justin’s soundscape, as well as a continuation of my recent exploration of video-time-distortion, as in the Equinox project. The work begins with an abstract and almost recognisable real-time video sequence, which unfolds and unravels into a spaced-out ‘spaghettification’ of reality.
