Working across video, installation and photography, his work unfolds in minimalist surreal environments, constructed from basic materials, domestic items and strategically placed panels. Delivering equal servings of familiar and uncanny, these environments witness and are activated by the simple routines and repetitive gestures of the figures that move within them, acting as holders of memory.
Within his work, the hypothetical narratives examine the complex intersection of autobiographical memory, account, fact and fiction. Characters start off as trustworthy, but as their subjective mediation of events unfolds, this fine, changeable line unravels in front of the outsider over time.
