My practice, as a visual artist, is to produce artwork that fits a specific environment. My focus is for an artwork to correspond to its setting and the audience/community that evolves around it. The setting is defined by the architecture, the landscaping, the history and the functionality of the structure. Once I have finished my research, I design the artwork and then have it fabricated by subcontractors that show an expertise in the materials I have chosen. The quality of the making is irreproachable as I only engage craftsmen with a specific expertise in one media. It is a collaborative process between the craftsmen and me.
The most revealing experience that will tell you the skills I can bring to the project is my past attendance at the prestigious international residency in Amsterdam (RABK, www.rijksakademie.nl ) where professional artists from all over the world are given the opportunity to work any media they wish within a given budget (based on grants for which you apply and a fixed yearly budget). The stimulating and competitive ground of the residency has opened my work to a much wider horizon. It allowed me to experiment with a wide range of new media technology. The new media covered by the residency were video editing, video shooting in spacious and well equipped studios, photographic laboratories and studios, sound editing and computer designing. Performances were encouraged and all conceptual and traditional projects were given full attention.
My attendance at EKWC in South Netherlands is of importance too (sundaymorning.ekwc.nl). The making of “Drilling for Fame” was a technical challenge, a team work with the technicians, a deadline with a tight time frame (3 months) and a restricted budget ($40,000).
I am an active member of matériO. It allows me to keep me informed. I receive a daily update of the materials they list.
With no advertisement, no financial links to the indexed manufacturers, MatériO is only financed by its users. MatériO selects each day materials, technologies and projects for their specificity, their inventiveness and their interest. The database includes today more than available 6000 materials. http://www.materio.com.
I am also an active member of Artsource which keeps me informed of the artistic activity in Perth and Australia.

My work is very innovative, playful, dynamic and most of all contemporary. Despite my work having a very contemporary approach, it always stays in touch in a subtle way to a large crowd, who might not necessarily be familiar with contemporary new media visual art.
I have lived in Australia since 2003.
I am both an Australian and a French citizen.
