| About the Artist | |
My work is concerned with materiality, detail, repetition and pattern. I am inspired by organic structures and fragility, through which I look at themes such as memory and identity. My working method involves the organisation of many small pieces into a complex but delicate entirety. |

Sugar Cube Room
June 2006 |
)
|
| Sugar Cube Room was a room swathed in sugar cubes, incorporating text and whispered voices. It was made up of 50,000 sugar cubes and cube faces, which developed into a mosaic of stata patterns twisting and spreading across the four walls of the space, and built up in places to 5 or 6 layers.
see Sugar Cube Room in issue 4 of CreatureMag, 'what is this space?' [click here]
Sugar was kindly donated by The Tate Britain, Tate & Lyle, Waitrose, Tescos Loughborough Branch, and Imago Services. The subtle but powerful abundance of simple materials creates complexity and depth, a contrast to the sensory exclusion of the ‘white cube’ space.
I use tactile, redolent spaces to inspire the senses. I try not to make work which is easily resolved by the mind. If it is not instantly absorbed it can stimulating imagination and creativity, whilst at the same time it is easy for the body and senses to relate to.
I use text in a small font winding sentences in and out of the sugar cubes; I make large spaces composed of small components; and also play very subtle whispered texts through the walls. This is to draw the viewer in so that the encounter is an intimate one where you have to get in close to the surface, close enough to smell the sugar and sense it on your tongue.

Sugar Cube (1 of 3)
Feb 2006 |
)
|
| The Sugar Cubes Sculptures concern materiality and aesthetic experience. Sensory materials constitute work with a tactile quality, and contrasting materials, which may evoke associations and reminiscences. The molten sugar could be compared with amber; sharing the characteristics of preserving, capturing, encapsulating and containing. It draws parallels with the concept of memory, and raises questions about whether histories and memories are properly preserved or whether, more realistically, they are subject to change and deterioration, some parts clear, others obscured. |

Sugar Wall
2005 |
)
|
| Sugar Wall was a two metre squared wall cast entirely from sugar, with sections of text printed on the surface. As an external installation it was ever changing in organic ways, engageing the sense of smell, taste and touch as well as being visually arresting, encapsulating the passing of time. |
