"&lt;p&gt;My visual art practice operates across several platforms and media. I write, draw and publish in a variety of forms including on-line comics, periodical illustrations, trade-paperback graphic fiction, and self-published artist\u2019s books and multiples. Thematically I am very curious about issues such as magic, hope, faith and human frailty. I also produce large-scale installations that incorporate stop-motion animations and digital print, and spend at least 50% of my waking life crocheting soft sculptures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A lot of my work employs play as a research strategy. Areas of interest include the mindset of the collector, the sculptural and performative possibilities suggested by books and book-objects, the conceptual space that books occupy beyond the presentation of texts and images, and how the social position of works (in other words, where we tend to encounter particular modes of art) mediates how we become engaged as readers/viewers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br style=\"color: rgb(44, 44, 44); font-family: 'Droid Serif', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px;\"&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
