| About the Artist |
The content of my work is concerned with issues of fragility, vulnerability and isolation. The artwork is fuelled by ensuing anxieties that arise from my experiences involving hostile social situations. The resulting pieces are realized through the use of altered objects which are often feminine in nature.
In recent years I have worked as a community artist on several outreach projects one of which received an N.I.M.H.E award for positive practice
I have also been involved (as both an artist and a researcher) with fellow contemporary artist Guy Tarrant with his touring exhibition ‘God Save The Pupils’

Fish Out Of Water
2005 Shopping Trolley |
|
This public sculpture is concerned with fragility and vulnerability; how things decay and break down. This applies to an object in the process of change such as a rusting shopping trolley, as the shopping trolley corrodes its meaning changes. Everything that appears strong and robust will eventually break down decay and die.
