YOU OFTEN USE MULTIPLE MEDIA AS A WAY OF exploring a subject in I’m interested in looking at ideas of duration, using multiple ways of viewing to talk about complex, multi-layered issues, because I don’t think things are necessarily black and white. It’s a way to unpick or even express complexity. I’m interested in opportunities of viewing the same subject through different mechanisms. So, for example, in paper cutting highly ornate decoration might be used, and this slows down the narrative. The paper cut itself is both image and object – you see something graphic, but the shadow behind it again takes a different type of engagement. So you’re constantly forcing an audience to negotiate different ways of interrogating that particular issue and that then aligns the formal content.
