I consider my theoretical and contextual research as an intrinsic part of my art practice, where the process of making art becomes a site of knowledge. Central to my research is its methodology that uses critical reading and analysis of key texts as the foundation for art practice. In this methodology the relationship between theory, writing and art practice is more than just reflection and application, it is one and the same.
