Artist Statement

My interests are mainly focused on ‘plastic poetry’ a term I use to describe the creation of objects that have wider aesthetic resonance. Using items and material from daily living, I attempt to create dialogues and conceptual meaning from disparate and everyday materials. These are selected so they have a familiar and strong personal resonance, offering a way into the work through familiarity.

As an artist I am motivated by the questions raised when ideologies become reality, or at least attempt to manifest themselves in reality, using modernism as a vehicle to explore this my work often disturbs and unsettles the ethos of its making, questioning its own truths and its ability to converse its self-meaning to the viewer.
