Biography

I am a scavenger, a collector, a researcher and a fabricator. I prefer to work in non-traditional sites creating work that integrates into the character of a place. I like a site with some experience - unfinished floors, walls with layers of paint, a site that tells its’ story through architecture, materials and wear – a place with a life of its’ own - past, present and future. I want viewers to experience my work physically, I make things, which can be handled, listened to or crushed. I like the tension of a private/secret exchange between another person and myself. I make work that ultimately satisfies my own curiosity about the world. I ask myself, if the rules were slightly different, what kind of world would we inhabit. What aspects of ourselves would we uncover? What would we hide?
