In my practice I make sculpture, installation, drawings and video works. I have a deep interest in objects and experimenting with their form. I use everyday objects to create uncanny relationships that focus on texture, tone and shape.  I collect things that are found at home, suburban streets, supermarkets and in second hand stores. When I encounter an object, it must offer an initial excitement- something charming about its gaze, its glowing details or its humour that releases a smile. I work in an impulsive and intuitive manner. By honing in on an object’s material qualities and elaborating on what I find, I allow the form to undergo a series of transformations till it achieves a sense of autonomy. This process begins with choosing a complimentary pattern or mood which makes sense to the object’s formal rhythm. I want to give something back to the object itself, by responding to it in its own language. A form is complete when it can speak with its own voice and hold its own space, this is when I watch how it interacts with its surroundings.

Because learning a work can only come about through caring for it, my love for art continues to grow with each object I meet. With tenderness and commitment, I help ojects to flourish as they are, letting them live and move beyond me and into the world.
