"My current practice involves the creation of sculptural objects and partial environments that emphasize materiality and the potential for ‘character’ within what is often thought of as inanimate matter. Through the use of an eclectic range of materials and processes, I test inherent properties, histories, hierarchies and contextual connections within my source materials. This results in a playful and intuitive attitude to fabrication methods, embodying aesthetic values suitable for each orchestration of object and environment, as well as combined material and artist agencies.
Forms that emerge during different phases of the fabrication process recur across different series of work, creating overlapping rhythms that produce synchronous associations and narratives between different aspects of my practice. Although much of the imagery is guided by the subconscious, as part-remembered or part-imagined, I also draw upon a range of personal interests including fictional and historical sources combined with observations on everyday experience and my immediate surroundings. A boldly abstract visual language is balanced by a careful attention to detail and the subtle invocation of a quality that is near to, but not quite, the anthropomorphic."
