I currently live and work in Nottingham, UK

Today, I observe a disconnection between the artist's studio and the gallery space. Within my installations, I import studio arrangements and objects of process into the exhibition space in order to bring the intimacy of the process of making into the experience of the viewer.

Usually, moulds, jigs, and tools are seen as unappreciated by-products and discarded from the viewer, whereas in my work I present them as objects in their own right. This raises questions about the commercial expectation and value of the finished object in a consumerist society and how we read objects that surround us in our daily lives.

Through the use of different techniques, I constantly flip, copy, turn, mirror, and mutate objects. This enables me to push form into abstraction giving rise to something new and unknown.

The interaction between the sculptures and their environment is important. Sometimes the work functions as a sort of prosthesis, other times objects of space are decontextualised. In my installations I invite the viewer to rethink the making of objects, the behaviour of the space and how it could be animated, changed, or extended into something else.

Currently I mostly work with natural materials such as ceramic, plaster, latex and wood.

Within my photographic practice I am looking at the structures, processes and problems that are part of urban life and how they affect human interactions within urban space.
