'We make things so that they will in turn remake us.'1 Elaine Scarry

​

I create surreal and poetically charged objects, installations and films. These draw from the aesthetics, the materiality, and the shared narratives of the lived space. Materials are close at hand, cotton wool, discarded packaging, magazines, make up cases, furniture, mirrors, the language of the everyday. Influences come from as diverse sources as mediaeval iconography, through to the endless flow of mass digital content, often mixed together to articulate the strange and fragmented landscape of the contemporary self.

 

I am insatiably curious about the interplay between the material and the immaterial. The daily dance we perform

between material, digital, object and imagination, trying to make sense of the messiness of spirit and matter. I am interested in how we navigate the everyday, glitching and shape shifting between object, memory and place. Past and future smashed together, public and private, flawed and absurd, yet intrinsically profound. I begin with the house, looking out, to an unsettling and melancholic world, using material, object and film as a language to unpick what I see.
