My practice is concerned with introducing gestures, texts and objects into public space. I am interested in the subtle intersection of these minimal and quiet interventions within the flux of everyday life. I refrain from differentiating 'art-practice' from the 'practice-of-living'. To this end, I have created interventions in my workplace, in retail spaces, on trains, in parks, on the sidewalk etc… The interventions are poetic, ephemeral and often of a diminutive scale, therefore, they may be noticed by only a few people. If the work elicits a smile, a pause, a moment of disorientation in a small number of people, I consider this worthwhile. Essentially, this type of practice is intuitive and exploratory. It seeks opportunities in which to playfully engage with aspects of our everyday reality. |
