| Now
I am currently lead artist on the Whose Data? project at Knowle
West Media Center. Whose Data is an artistic investigation into
how local communities can make the most of their data streams.
I am currently developing Electric Footprint a data visualisation
of energy use that enables the householder to see their energy
use over hours, days and months and compare it to their neighbours.
I am working with Toshiba to develop the interface for android
tablets.

Introduction
My work is a research-based, studio practice that examines how conventional
drawing and animation practices can be developed and shown in digital
environments such as the web or a computer driven installation.
In the past few years I have developed a body of drawings and animations
shaped by my response to a culture in which there is both an excess
of imagery and a homogenisation of visual language. |
Background
I trained in animation at Liverpool Polytechnic (graduating in 1993),
concentrating on hand drawn animation for film. Since then I have
developed my work through using vector-based digital tools, undertaking
commissions and residencies, and by distributing my work online.
Expanding my programming skills has developed my practice by allowing
me to work experimentally with timelines in my drawing and animation. |
