Fairground Waltzer sign constructed from thousands of jelly dots like those found in television screens. This work questions the role of memory and how the real recollections of true events, in particular those of childhood, can become entwined with other influences, such as television programmes. It creates an interplay between the operational devices of television, the allusion to formative years using a signifier for innocence (jelly) and the adolescent-dominated space of the fairground. The green, red and blue LED lights that construct a television screen are recreated using thousands of handmade dots cast from jelly. The brightness of each jelly dot is determined by the regulation of light underneath and are arranged to highlight the signage that accompanies the Waltzer rides at the fairground.

My work draws on the value of escapism in advertising and the desire to obtain the exotic items advertised to consumers. Often manipulating a mesh of generic stock images, I create a world of exotic locations to provide an ideal of what consumers should want, yet the inflatable objects hint at a flat artificiality behind the confines of the image. Influenced by the commercial world, many of my works are a play on the large advertising screens found in shop windows, the black lines representing the screen serve as a barrier between us and our desires. Underlying themes in my work question the importance of traditional social spaces in modern living. Taking found household objects, I engrave fictional compositions based on early advertising images and places them with modern day communication devices. By hanging the traditional objects on the wall, the works become an archive of social conventions. I studied Fine Art in Canterbury for my BA and MA and currently live and work in Kent.
