My artwork is directly referential to the everyday, material objects of our society and relies on the very specific set of cultural references imbued in the original objects I take inspiration from. My approach is one of a remaking of the ready-made, which allows for both a removal of any unproductive associations or symbolic qualities the ready-made equivalent may have and enables the addition of others through formal and material transformative decisions and juxtapositions. Thus the materiality of the remade object becomes an essential component in the transformation from the original; a response to the everyday wrapped up reveal of uncanny relationships between seemingly disparate materials and things.
