My creative outputs are most obviously characterised by diversity, both in terms of material and form. As I tend to develop several pieces concurrently, even my processes are multifarious.
My studio practice encompasses performative elements, but it has no beginning or end and needs no audience. Rather, it is generative of a contemplative self-awareness and embodied mode of reflection. Sculptures arise from taping, wrapping, and stuffing my own clothing. Once formed, the results live as a reconstruction of the self.
Put simply, I seek to visualise a parody of contemporary art and the world by unpicking my own sense of identity within it. From taping myself to the gallery wall, to re-presenting myself in sculptural form, I question my role as artist and member of society. In this way, I interrogate the gap between my intentionality as the art-maker, and the meaning-making through which the viewer completes the work.
