Elastic Field is a body of work that experiments with the expansion of traditional notions of space through the development of electronically enhanced garments and artefacts.
My practice operates at the nexus between electronics, design and spatial investigation - utilising technologies to create potent human scale projects. I am currently collaborating with nanotechnologists to develop projects which explore the emotional aspects of therapeutic technologies. I also work hands on with nano-engineered materials in my teaching and creative arts practice.

world are no longer separate, time seems to stand still.”
