Objective
I have always been interested in how space affects the action of a play or the movement and how it can enhance every aspect of a production. Over the last few years I have been working diligently to integrate many aspect of a performance in its various forms within different medium and at the same time mixing them together. I am eager to explore the use of the projected image and light installations. Installation art is a metaphor that can be defined by using materials, media and light to modify how we experience a particular space and exploring it’s meaning.
