My practice explores relationships between people, place and responsive systems through interactive digital media, projection, immersive technologies and creative participation.
I am interested in how systems respond to human presence and action, and how meaning can emerge through participation. Using projection, camera tracking, generative processes and interactive software, I create works in which images and environments change in response to those who encounter them.
Across the work, I explore the relationship between action, feedback and consequence. I am interested in what happens when people encounter their own influence within a system and experience that system responding in return.
I live and work in the Northern Irish border region, a landscape shaped by ecological change, degraded woodland, ash dieback disease, compromised freshwater systems and the legacy of conflict. These conditions inform my interest in interconnected systems and in the ways environmental, technological, cultural and political forces shape the places we inhabit.
Recent works have explored the material history of buildings, environmental change, memory and loss. Brick by Brick considers how we see, preserve and remember historic buildings through an interactive projection responding to visitors’ movement. Generative Decay explores changing freshwater environments, while Kindred Ash considers ash dieback, loss and renewal through an immersive digital environment.
My practice also extends into participatory and socially engaged contexts, where I explore how shared experience and memory are shaped through interactions between people, place and technology.
