Abstract: My video and installation work centers on the co-existence of dualities and places the " screen " as t he seam that holds together the boundaries of disparate realities, a vibrant yet questioning meeting point of extremes. My work draws on collections, both physical and virtual as vehicle. My concern is to re-consider the form of such anthologies and re-use or re-cycle their content into new discourse objects, themselves in states of in-between, that undulate their singular and collective constituency in search of an alternative reality. I borrow heavily from the religious iconography of my native country, Malta, and create pieces that are multi-layered, and whose surfaces belie their intense humane and existential undertones.
