My art practice involves the investigation of place. I am interested in the alternative use of spaces and materials in a manner which does not obey traditional parameters, but rather allows for experimentation, innovation, errors, deliberate chaos, and the rejection of uniformity. In my work, the end product of a perfect image is not the priority, but rather the outcome of multiple processes of overlap, integration and mutation, which allow for a continual possibility of discovery.

The series Attachments 1 originated in photographic documentation of structures in Berlin which were unrenovated, derelict or otherwise under construction. There is an attraction in the imperfections of these locations: in the multitude of uneven surfaces and textures, in the cumulative effects of neglect, and in the implications of memory and nostalgia in the traces left behind. I am intrigued by the potential of strategies of re-use and reinvention, and the process of completing the work in this series involved repurposing scrap wallpaper, plaster boards and other remnants discarded in the interiors of the structures as material for use in the work.
