To this end I utilize a multimedia approach to creating art, an expres-sion of philosophical, spiritual, social and psy-chological reactions to the ‘personal’ engage-ment with the world; both the ‘seen’ and the ‘unseen’. This practice is best utilized through multimedia and includes scale model mak-ing, film making, lighting, installation, graphic design, soundscaping and sound manipulation to create the desired immersible psychological experience. I have exhibited both with sound/visual Installation art, video and printed media in London, New York, Europe, Australia, the Far East, and worldwide.
