My recent work investigates how objects can become conceptually dismantled. I do this by fabricating forms that resemble functional objects and stretching their material behaviour in an attempt to re-stage their references and disrupt expectations about presumed qualities. I aim to illustrate the ideas surrounding an object via suggestions, indexes and symbols, circumventing direct, sculptural representation.

I’m very interested in how attitudes towards social contexts can become hostile because of their associated aesthetics. The unwritten rules of public spaces determine how we interact in that space as well as with each other. The material aesthetics inherent to certain contexts lend themselves to my desire to create objects rich in familiarity and communal experience.
