Objects and mythology
Objects and self
I attempt to make objects of intrigue that are activated through physical interaction.
The process is instinctive, corporeal. I am interested in the way my touch translates into form – how and why. I study the exchange of information between my body and the clay. Personal memories, and experiences – the intangible knowledge of the body – determine the outcome. The resultant objects are fictional souvenirs of actual encounters.
I dream of an afterlife for my work. For it to be touched, played with, moved, worn, and held. To be a catalyst for emotions. And a trigger for broader issues of value, autonomy, control and responsibility. Where does the body stop and object begin? How and how much does one control the other?
