Work from 2009 - present:
My primary medium is sculpture, although I also produce drawings and collages. The work focuses on taking on familiar objects and symbols from the everyday environment and reworking them so as to create a sense of the uncanny. I often make installations from a number of smaller sculptures that mimic the layout of a domestic environment. The works themselves, discuss the distance between the object and the viewer in the history of art, by communicating their artificiality visually. This is done through making the underlying structures and layers an integral part of the sculpture. There is a candid playfulness in stressing the materiality of the work that is communicated by evidence of directness with which it is made. This results in exaggerated surfaces and edges.
