My work involves the creation of readymade sculptures through selective alterations to manufactured products. I use these alterations as a method of interrogating narratives, settings or habits intrinsic to the objects purpose. I also explore my relationship to spaces inherent to my identity as an artist through spontaneous creative acts such as painting my studio space red using my body.
These alterations and creative acts allow me to express resistance and frustration towards personal experiences attached to the spaces or objects I select. Reoccurring themes I investigate include dysfunction, resistance and imposter syndrome. My process focuses on enhancing the material qualities of the objects through repetition or presentation, intervening with surface and form to recontextualise their function.
I aim to elicit self-reflection in the viewer in hopes they consider their own associations to the objects and why I chose to alter them. I’m driven by an interest in how human creation of objects and spaces can influence our experience of the world.
