Function is at the heart of the farming tools and tasks I document, their meaning and value being derived from this. Knots, layers and marks appear as part of the work, archived within a growing library. With an intention to reveal my family’s homemade bricolaged and ‘bodged’ objects as remarkable, ingenious and poetic, I encourage the viewer to reconsider the ‘practice of everyday’. Such items are inconsequential to most, yet by offering them a platform, they exist beyond their lifespan and continue to be useful – as a reference. Gathered, these works are not curiosities, but a collection relating to the notion of dwelling, sense of place and way of life.
