ABOUT
This is an archive of artworks that I've produced since the early 1990s, and made under the conditions that prevailed at the time and in the place where they were developed – in London in the 90s, internationally in the period 1998-2016, and lately in Canada and the UK. As a result, this work shifts from a technological and urban focus, towards mountains and meetings in the context of international exhibitions, conferences, and commissions; and now to matters close at hand such as ecological concerns, the experience of decololonial processes, migration – and transdisciplinary experiments with the practice of football and contemporary art.
This work is situated among social relationships – creating, maintaining, and sustaining them, as art. I often work with collaborators and participants, whose names appear throughout this website. My thanks goes to everyone who has enabled me to make the artworks listed here.
