Contemporary sculptural practice and philosophies of time: material, context and temporality.

On this page

My research is practice-led, so is informed by an analysis of my own work and the processes used to make it. In practice I create work first, and criticise and revise it afterwards, rather than attempting to create work in accordance with a design aimed at a specific outcome.  

I explore ideas of time and timelessness, and I am particularly interested to discover whether the work of specified philosophers, particularly Michel Serres, gives guidance on these concepts and can assist in an analysis of my own work and that of other artists for whom “time” is a significant subject.
