I am a male presenting, settler Australian. I have been exhibiting video since 1997. I have had three key bodies of work: a decade on performed identity; a decade of environmental studies; my current return to abstraction and process directed toward the embodied nature of consciousness. Across my career I have been supported by various municipalities, the ARC, the Australia Council for the Arts and state arts funding bodies. In addition to my work here in Australia, I have undertaken site-responsive projects in Brazil, the USA, Japan, China, Korea, Thailand, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Scotland, Germany and France. I am an Associate Professor at RMIT’s School of Art.
