My projects are visual investigations into our experience of relational dimensions
I began making holograms in the Optics Lab at RMIT University around 1999/2000 - learning between books in the library, creative experiments and physics insight from A/Prof Phil Wilksch. Then in London I worked with Dr Martin Richardson at The Holographic Image Studio who allowed me to experiment between commercial projects. Returning to Melbourne and the Lab at RMIT I completed Applied Physics (honours) with a project on holographic projection, which was also presented as the exhibition Hover... (2004 Next Wave Festival). Since then I have travelled between holography labs to develop and create holographic images.
Most of my holograms are recorded with multiple optical stencils (exposing either by hand or mechanically) while the content is a montage of sculptures, photographs and computer-generated scenes. The spatial rearrangement express a dynamic-/-emotive scene. Through holography I am exploring the nature of encounters within urban life. My images come from sequences of photos and the objects I find, then processed through physical, digital and optical geometries.Currently I am working with the Korean HOLOcenter and the Center for the Holographic Arts, NY and developing a PhD (by project) at the Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory, SIAL
On this website you'll find documentation of my holographic and other
projects...
....but holograms really need to be experienced
