Working mainly with video installation and the play of light and sound on material surface, these works often deal with the results or 'aftermath' of certain simple actions. The resulting work attempts to occupy a field of sensory experience where the visual merges with the sense of our own body : of touch, movement, and our awareness of space and proximity
