I am a magpie,

         avid collector, rearranging ephemera, hailing the unwanted.

I am busy injecting bonus powers into objects, engineering chimeric entities.

I often wonder how an object was born into the world and what classififies it’s death. 

         When regarding digital content, this journey becomes non-linear, their demise practically impossible.

Fragments of ONLINE CONTENT are otherworldly, impregnating the electricity around us,

                                                                                      like ghosts...

Trends jump from phonetophone like head lice,

eventually slipping through the screen to their human host.

This movement between digital and physical directly informs my practice.

Considering the journey of a file,

it's origin, context,

control and restrictions,

m o v e m e n t ,

ownership...                                         and paradoxical transience upon becoming physical.
