About the Artist

Key influences within my work often stem from Buddhist principals surrounding value and attachment, environmental issues and social interaction. The work is often labour intensive and process led, becoming a meditative style practice. I use the art work to challenge my own value of time, materiality and investment as well as the viewers.
 
My work tends to generate through installations of a fragile and temporal state and is built using a detailed, hand-made process which usually takes many days to complete.
 
Because of the ephemeral quality of the work, I embrace it in terms of process and deterioration, not necessarily a ‘finished state’. The organic materials I use within the work reference a connection with nature and have a life independent from the art work itself, thus encouraging the potentiality of the works breakdown through accidental interference.
