MA work

From the moment it is placed in the landscape the object becomes an evolving piece. It begins to tell new stories and suggest new meanings.

I intend my work to evoke responses to the surrounding environment, to create work that appears and disappears in its rightful landscape, to allow people to sit on my work and look around.
