Her works have been exhibited extensively in, ARI’s, museums and commercial galleries nationally and internationally. Studies and fieldwork in archaeology have been influential in the direction her work has taken since the mid 1980’s.

Recent works explore the impact of the ICT revolution, its generation of a new ‘digital ecology’ and its impact on our relationship to time and space.
