About

“I came with no expectation and still I feel disappointed”

I investigate the world through the deconstruction and dismantling of ideas, objects and experiences. I am interested in stripping away the value of an object and rendering it useless in its current form. By unpacking the layers and somehow altering the DNA, I aim to offer an alternative perspective. Original meanings become problematic and open to interpretation. This re-contextualising opens space for questioning. Within this context, I am exploring notions of uselessness, futility and the absurd. I am investigating value and it’s associated meaning’s and look at value found within process. Similarly I am interested in the notion of failure in the non achievement of goals or as protest or as a resistance of conclusion or an end result.

My work often references architecture and structures and how we interact and evolve within the built environment. It raises questions around the inside and outside, public and private space and what is hidden and what is revealed.

Working mostly in the medium of sculpture, I use an array of material including wood, steel, concrete and resin and having a background in furniture making, often use crafted objects alongside abject or found materials. Process and concept go hand in hand and the labour intensive methods used, reflect the close relationship between material and value of making in a digital age.
