My work makes connections between different phenomena in the world, specifically between Nature and Culture, Inner and Outer and Microcosm and Macrocosm. To this end I collaborate with scientists and technicians from a broad spectrum of disciplines and use whatever visual means, technologies and materials best suit the situation. I make large site specific, land works outside, some of which are architectural, I also make installations inside, video works and works on paper. My work is featured in many Key Land Art Survey books in the UK and America.

Recent projects include a British Antarctic Survey residency in Antarctica, and an exhibition about place, ecology and politics at The Nevada Museum of Art called Mushrooms|Clouds. Over the last decade I have been working with clinicians to make links between systems in the body and systems on the planet and I continue to travel and respond to diverse requests for collaborations.
