Shelf and Tumbler, Katy West
Photographer: Martin Clark
My practice is concerned with the recontextualisation of existing generic objects, reinterpreting their form, reinventing their function and meaning. The products I make are imbued with historical reference, devoid of nostalgia. Through reproduction elements are changed, omitted and emphasised, transforming status and function through materials and form.
