I debase people. It is important that my work looks a certain way. I employ aspects of design and making skills to produce something that desires to be handled and consumed. I want the objects to be used and to have a use. I want them to transcend from art one-off to plentiful products. I want to remind people of their lives and to question them. I want to touch the disgusting scab stuck to the underbelly of every living being I come into contact with. I want it to be simple. Readable. Confrontational. Repulsive.

Work of art I would like to make

In twenty-five years from now hopefully I won’t be living in this country to watch it disintegrate from beneath me. Everything is a shambles and nothing is valued.
Everyone has lost sight. Everyone knows it but we don’t want to change it.
I look at control and privacy through means of intrusive behaviour. I would like to create an environment that viewers have to participate in. All elements of the space can be adapted to give a different experience of outrage everyday. Ultimately I will be puppet master.
I think that people should be exposed more to situations that affect us all on a day-to-day basis. When these are over-exaggerated and blown out of proportion it can be easier to spot the flaws in them.
