Individual Condition

People are broken; it happens to everyone at some quiet and discreet moment. It occurs in a blink of an eye, a moment of raw, irrepressible psychological destruction that happens so naturally it is hard to recognise: the loss of innocence. Life gains speed, becoming more complicated. The ramifications of understanding the meaning of being physically orientated and our dependency on it, which is not everlasting, are what drives personal anxieties and desires: desire, obsession, dissatisfaction and a sense of significance and meaning is at the core of my art.

My works are displayed like examples of artefacts/specimens of modern mythology. They are hung, exposed naked on display, for all to see; witnessed like a mannequin in a shop window. They are made to be empty vessels, veneers or skins, alluding to how the body is constructed and how the environment affects them. Gravity is a vital tool, its pulling weight distorts the objects, sagging and stretching, folds, rips and wrinkles forming. The movement of materials throughout the operation, transforms , without adding or fully removing anything, creating the vessel. Elements reversing, inside to outside, exploring notions of attraction, repulsion, confession and fantasy.
