Artist Statement

I work with the theme of desire and ideas Freudian, in the context of anxiety, loss and control. I am interested in obsessive, ritualized ways of working. My working methods involve ways of manipulating materials, the finished object being a type of fetish.

This piece was initially derived from line drawings that I have then interpreted using cable ties as a repetitive motif. The materials used are industrial and man made, these work in opposition to the organic nature of the structure itself. The appearance of the piece is akin to a cell or micro-organism such as may be found within a human or animal body but being shown out of context gives it an alien aspect.
