Artist Statement

My work has been described as an enquiry into how spatial forms incorporate social processes and how all social processes are inherently spatial. I seek to break the artificial separation between methodology and philosophy in an exploration of the fundamental interrelationship between space, social justice, and the nature of urbanism. When these social processes are reduced to small organisation, a family, a couple or an individual, I prefer to talk about behaviour. This sculpture belongs to the People as Places, Places as People series. I build spatial forms and give them human behaviours. This space could be occupied, physically or mentally, by the beholder, to experiment these sensations.
