Recent work explores the idea of strata and layering, moving between surface and structure, image and material and where this sits in time and space. Digital images are slippery and constantly shift in meaning and worth. These tensions are explored by shifts in scale and use of the fixture as a indication that things could fall apart. Amalgamations of things and the process of mediation is always apparent. MDF creates a surface of familiar material- a uniformity that looks the same but never could be the same. It’s a substance of different substances, like the photocopy and like the scanned object. And through this journey, it becomes somehow ‘other’, it’s information lost, its importance lesser and it’s form diluted.Â

My work engages with print through collection of printed matter, materiality and the mediated image - ultimately residing as a practice in collage.Â
This practice relies on a construction of haptic, material, fragments, exploring the push and pull between the physical world and the digital, tensions in material and the fragility of the image. Use of the hand to layer, reproduce and mimic explores this attempt to move away from the flatness of image we engage with in a digital world - to revert back and negotiate within a physical world - at times temporal and fragile - highlighting an intersection and a struggle of status.Â
