About the Artist

My work is driven by what could be called a romantic obsession, often focusing on the small “insignificant” moments of life, fading tender memories, or childhood dreams. Beautiful in their simplicity these are the things that make us unique, that capture our essence. I long to preserve my own fragile treasures and am passionate about resurrecting those of others.

I am keen to explore the relationship between reclaimed or personal objects and our individual and collective memories, desires and dreams. Recasting these objects in the present brings into focus telling details that can provoke empathy in the viewer and make palpable something elusive or potentially forgotten. The ways in which time changes objects interests me greatly. I am drawn by the contradiction that all things are constantly deteriorating and yet at the same time undergoing a process of enrichment by the stories and physical imprint that the environment and our lives places upon them.

I predominantly work in three-dimensional media and installation. Using found objects that carry traces of time or are imbued with an individual’s presence, I weave the real with the imagined to create narrative or evoke emotion. Employing an aesthetic that engages us as a form of visual poetry, I aim to craft work that invites intimacy and personal involvement.
