My artistic practice engages web based research along with film and video. As an artist, I am interested in how historical research can shape the ways in which knowledge is constructed and conveyed. In my work I use random images selected from the web to reconstruct and illustrate stories, myths and religious texts.
I am also drawn towards issues around the colonial project and identity politics as these issues have greatly impacted my own identity and practice. In my current work, I rely greatly on a collaborative process to filter and shift the narratives I find. This means that I work along with other artists to inform my research and aesthetic. I continue to use this method to strength the basis of my work and to shape the ways in which my archive of research grows.
I see this process of reconstructing stories as a means to make sense of knowledge production and to create a sense of placement in history. Through my work, I hope to show how knowledge can be reedited and made to fit my own understanding of the world around me.
