As a movement artist, Simon's work has involved a transition from the formal presentation context of the theatre and studio space to a primary physical engagement with land and the qualities of season, people and place. His studio and context for presentation exists outside the usual art institution and interfaces directly with lived and sensory experience.
His background in dance and movement continues to be central to the work he makes; it is the body's ecological paradigm and relation to its environment that are a basis from which he meditates and realises a series of propositions and experiences shared directly, or indirectly with an audience. This work seeks to connect humanity with nature and enliven participation on a physical and poetic level, often embracing the possibilities of technology as a bridge. His work usually involves a process of walking and journeying, through which an audience may participate or become witness.
Over the last nine years he has collaborated on much of this work with sound artist Barnaby Oliver, under the name Untitled States. They research sound, movement and place sensitivity, with an ongoing concern for blurring the edges between inner and outer, nature and culture, the body and environment, real and imaginary, that continues to drive the collaboration into hybrid territory. Projects include the reconstruction of ritual, live performance and sound transported to distant places.
