Through videos and bodies of drawings, ceramics I use humour and narrative to examine the psychology behind disturbing human behaviours.
My videos mimic television genres such as documentaries, reality shows and family sitcoms, My father's profession as a child psychologist impacted significantly on my work, and helped to form a basis for my interest in abnormal psychology and dysfunctional families. I seek to question disturbing behaviours, where they stem from and how they are perpetuated by day-to-day life.
