(28 years old. Born in United Kingdom. Lives in: London)
Royal Academy Schools

Graduate from The Royal Academy Schools London 2009. I am interested in the transformation and changes in value of cultural artefacts. Through trade cultural objectives become re-appropriated into other forms. Consequently artefacts and images change from potent forms of communication to objects of fashion and aestheticism. Once the original is appropriated an informed copy enters the world creating a new set of values an ...[more]

Work of art I would like to make

I am currently interested in the alchemist’s desperate pursuit to replicate porcelain. Porcelain became an incredibly desirable and fashionable commodity in the west during the late 17th and early 18th century. The break through came in 1708 by Johann Friedrich Bottger, who went on to open Europe’s first porcelain factory. The focus here lies in the vast lengths of imitation that the alchemists went to and the resulting transformation of one cultural object into another.

I can envisage creating a sculpture and a wall-based work that would work in unison. Firstly the sculpture would use a found object, in particular a reproduction piece of porcelain that merely assumes the historical potency of an original. This allows an engagement with notions of artefact, artifice, creativity and invention. This would then be transformed and modified in the form of a fabricated lid and structure to contain the object. Secondly I envisage a large simple painted banner that stands behind the sculpture. For both pieces the choice of materials would need to be very particular. They need to mimic the quality of the object, but also conjure ideas of trade, authenticity, imperialist rule and the collector.
