My tools are scale and space. I look to create environments into which a viewer will be absorbed. The process of my work is extremely important to me and I only really begin to get a sense of the work once I’m in the space and the process has begun. I usually begin with a core concept and a material that I feel works as a symbol for that concept, I tend to use the same material or object en masse. The space dictates the manner in which the material will symbolize the concept. I aim to make the space both charged and playful, my work tends to have a distinct unnerving feeling that all the ordered material is about to forcefully unwind before your eyes. It tends to give the feeling that ones physical self is at risk of being caught up, tangled and captured by what surrounds one. It is through the intense process driven nature of my work that I attempt to evoke and entice, twist and turn through aesthetics and materiality. My spaces explore discomfort; look at the tedious, arduous, painstaking tasks committed to order the unfathomable. I aim to unwind the ordered. My work is formed, deformed and reformed. I’m interested in beauty, its ability to seduce, for the experience to reflect the desire for sensual pleasure. I tend to be interested in the links between art and physics and nature. Both art and physics use symbol to describe and explain the workings of our universe; the relationship between the artists’ use of image and metaphor to the physicists’ use of number and equation forms a basis for my concepts. |
