Sculpture – Photographer – Installation and Mixed Media Artist:
Working under the name of DoGsWooD affords me the unconscious and unbridled liberty to fully engage with the artist within.
As an informal philosophical anthropologist, my fascination is with those intrinsic elements which connect, divide, unite and drive us as individuals and as a collective. These elements inform, inspire and drive my creative process and expression.
Working within multiple planes of interest; literal, interpretative and abstract, I am driven to create works that engage with notions of discovery, narrative, meaning and play. The variety of techniques I employ reflect these interests, as well as demonstrating an engagement in the exploration and evolution in my own creative personality.
I create works for private and public display (pop up installations), as well as galleries and exhibitions. My installation works are often situated in abandoned houses, farm sheds, warehouses and open landscapes, where it speaks to the environment in which it dwells.
