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 and a secondary history of its own. The focus becomes the co-existence of both original and copy and the tension between historical fact and fabrication.
