Comprising of sculpture and drawing this work has a simple, rough and soulful quality that is underlined by a careful placement of objects and images which emphasize the gaps and pauses between them to bring the liminal to the fore.

Often using the studio as first point of origin, objects and ephemera are collected and brought back; detritus found on the road- old batteries bits of Styrofoam, even song lyrics and remembered book titles. These references, both personal and historical, are introduced to make works that are happy to “re-exist” in a new way thereby transforming them into objects of significance. This aspect of transformation appears and is expanded upon in an elegiacal quality found in the drawings.
