''My work focuses on the ambiguity of meaning and 'essence' in the observed world: the discrepancy between subjective experience and the concept of an objective reality. It places the viewer at the centre of this inquiry, with the aim of deconstructing rationalistic beliefs and the human desire to classify and compartmentalize the perceived world. I am fascinated by the mechanical and the technological and the assertions of scientists that these manifestations of rational thought provide absolute truths and so increase our 'knowledge' of the universe. I feel that the idea of knowledge is questionable.''
