The artist's focus is on technology, and the way that technologies can be used to change, and control understandings. The video tower displays phrases and texts used during the Gulf War where a terrifying poetry of euphemism was generated to obscure a realisation of the outcomes of metal or explosives meeting flesh and bone. The goblets re-articulate a centuries-old design for a surveillance technology, one initially perhaps intended as a conversation point, but which in contemporary form now has a role in our everyday lives.
