My practice is interdisciplinary and generative in results often with intimate sculptures and object installations. I am interested in objects that synergise intimacies with the body and yearn for completeness within absents and separation. I am motivated by the differences within my practice and how works can become questioned and altered by engagement and evoking exploratory understandings.

My research unfolds metaphysical values that converge ideas around the intent of magic on material thinking and speculative folklore. This is a continual investment of interest and development. These values are exposed, compressed and fabulised within working methodologies that collectively pull together transitionary states, and confessions of experience.

working drawings


So, a few people have contacted me asking about drawing. How important is it to my making? How do I use it within my practice? I have chosen very resent drawings to illustrate this. I tend not to overthink the act of drawing and use it to document thinking. My mark-making ranges from very quick lines to a build-up of collage surfaces. I add text a lot as instruction and annotation of material. I see my drawings as key points of developments as a process of planning thoughts and material investigations. I do not limit myself to a type of media and papers and surfaces are important for the translation of ideas. I usually work on loose pages so I can pin them in my work space then collect them to form a sketchbook.

Personal Provenance

a project revisiting turning points of my creativity. making pieces that can act as collectors, adding and amassing sentimental objects. questioning ownership and transition of making and the importance of nominating from personal archives.





working from objects in jars. learning from and using.
 
experimental casting
badges to collect. as part of kits...

works in progress: material thinking.
 
elevating the mundane moments.

Bygone Stones

Bygone Stones are made to sit on your body as part of a treatment at different temperatures. to aid meditation and points of deep personal inquest.
