MA work
My work is an exploration into under-used or possibly redundant, equipment, process and time with in small-scale manufacture. I want to explore the potential for new products within these factories and look to cost effectively and intuitively develop new products inspired by the manufacturing environment.
Working without a studio, nomadically moving from one factory to the next, I seek to build working relationships with different factories - each new product is unique and tells a story of collaboration between the factory and myself. My work revolves around the ability to work with others, sharing knowledge and learning from one another in order to push the designs forward.
