Michael Klein said "the paths of art and life are indistinguishable".

Through this we can understand my interest in success and the realisation of potential. This is because I am also an athlete, currently jumping just below international standard in the high jump.

My practice draws upon the experience and knowledge that I have gained from being an athlete. This can be seen not only in the often very physical nature of my work but also the concepts that drive them, most notably being "in pursuit of the impossible."
