Artist Statement

My work explores the use of detail, and the different visual layers this creates. The sculptures I make can be seen as a whole, or when viewed close up, the small intricacies that make up the piece, can be seen as detailed, individual parts. These could be sand, rusty elements, or other items that often go unnoticed. By drawing attention to every day items and using them in an unusual way, they are given a new importance. The idea of balance is another common subject in my work. I often rely on visual experiences and chance discoveries to evolve work. Found images or objects often become inspiration for new work and highlight the inquisitive nature to my practice. My work possesses a playfulness and willingness to explore new materials.
