My artwork centres on transforming found objects and materials into new forms that hover between the beautiful and the unsettling. Using inconsequential 'stuff' - drawing pins, nails, cling film, hair grips, natural and synthetic fibres - these commonly ignored materials are elevated to question what we habitually deem to be without value.

Through simple actions such as wrapping, clipping, binding, pulling, and pinning, an idly conceived thing is reconfigured into something entirely different, provoking a reassessment of our intuitive logic and perception. This focus on the commonplace encourages a reconsideration of both its physical and philosophical significance.

Without relying on added fixings or external supports, the object is sustained by its own physical capacity. Investigative, labour-intensive, and often repetitive processes of construction and deconstruction reveal points of least resistance between the artist and the material - the moment where shapeshifting occurs and the everyday becomes the extraordinary.

I have a deep interest in how simple physical actions develop a haptic relationship with an object that, en masse, evolves into a 'thing in itself'. Ultimately, the work seeks a symbiotic relationship with everyday materials, exploring their materiality, actions, and newly acquired significations.

Create Something New

Keep Exploring

The world is a place with endless possibilities for creativity and exploration. Let the call to create something new be a continuous source of inspiration.

Take Action

It takes courage and dedication to make something new. You need to take inspired action - think big, plan ahead and don't be afraid of failure. Take the next step.

Endless Possibilities

The beauty of creativity is that there's no limit to what you can create. All you need to get started is just a bit of passion and resourcefulness.
