My linear constructions allude to the culture of domestic routine and the rituals of hospitality. They engage the still-life tradition from a contemporary feminine perspective.
I use gum-strip paper coated in linseed oil to construct an empathetic study of domestic scenes and objects that opens a lived space between self and world. Domestic interiors are transformed into suspensions and reconstructed forms are integrated into perceptions or narrative reflections. The spatial qualities of the domestic objects and their relations to fragments of furniture - kitchen sink, table or washing machine - intensify localities. They form part of a process of remembrance, an extracting of the significant from the transitory and the ephemeral.
The assembled hangings are not merely the intervening space between fixed empirical or geometrical points. They signify the space constituted by renegotiating the relations between different positions within experience or between different forms of experience.
