In my work I address two related themes: migration and war. I am motivated by a lifetime of being between cultures through family and personal migration. The work is often ironic and irreverent or has a sense dislocation and uncertainty that opens up a space to the irrational and other possibilities. I use a range of mediums: video, drawing, animation, digital still image and objects. My work has been shown in Canada, UK and Europe and is in a number of private collections.
