With my work, I aim to make people more aware of the spaces around them by framing the details that are often overlooked when moving through transitory spaces. For example, the way that light flickers in-between railings when you move past them. I focus on those points where there is a discrepancy between what we think we see and what we are actually seeing. I use architectural materials - neon, stone, glass, concrete and steel – combining these in my works to consider urban spaces as systems comprised of balance, weight, and fragility. Recently I have begun combining materials found in the artist's studio such as paint and silicone alongside printed media to create sculptures using layers of material. I investigate our relationship with the built environment, how this is changing and how we are caught between altering states of flux and stability. I do this by creating works that are layers upon layers of print, precariously or imposingly balanced on one point, by using more fragile materials to prop up heavier masses, or by unusual combinations of materials such as the submersion of neon into water. Underpinning all my work are the themes of time, climate change, and urban development in the context of new technologies and post digital culture. I am interested in humans’ ever-increasing reliance on technology and in the flaws and details within this technology. Recently, I have been making works about how virtual space is navigated and works that highlight situations where a machine has taken over and caused errors or glitches in the materials. I am interested in the way that natural phenomena such as water and light affect our experience of the world around us. Water represents the passing of time. In my current research, I am focusing on the importance of water within cities and in the duality, that exists between water as a beautiful material that is difficult to control and water as something that is increasingly threatening. I am available for commissions. Please do get in touch if you are interested or if there is a work that has already sold and you would like something similar.
