Recent work such as ‘Difference’ and ‘Same’ has focused on creating installations that register in some way the actions of the viewer, often by literally being in the way, causing the spectator to change their course; or by the use of highly reflective materials, enabling the viewer to perceive the work differently as they move around the room.

Despite the fact that each steel bar has gone through exactly the same process, each one rusts uniquely, polishes uniquely and is perceived uniquely depending on its differing contexts and positions in relation to the viewer.
