His art tends toward conceptual language, exploring the poetics of spatial history, involving chance procedures and architectural strategies of improvisation. He often collaborates in a method he calls transcription (drawing), with other poets, experimental and radiophonic composers, choreographers, anthropologists, language & visual artists and writers. He has made significant projects in partnership with writer Paul Carter, Nathalie Sarraute, Angelika Fremd & Ingaborg Bachamann, Rainer Linz, Jutta Hell & Dieter Baumann and Jonathan Jones. In 2006 he participated in the Biennale of Sydney. In 2007 he worked with the choreographer Alan Schacher on The Babel Project in Sydney . He also worked on a sight specific installation called An Index of Kindness (with Jonathan Jones) at Post-Museum in Singapore in late 2007. He is currently making various out-of-gallery installations and sound works in the City of Sydney , focussing on the theme of home, the homeless, huts and the public house under the rubric of An Index of Kindness. In October 2008 he will create a public art installation and soundwork called Euphemisms for the Intimate Enemy for Nuit Blanche festival the City of Toronto .
