Bio
The vignettes I create often blend physical and digital experiences. My suspensions and reconstructed forms are empathetic studies of contemporary working and domestic scenes and also objects that open a lived space between self and the world. The spatial qualities of my forms and their relations to fragments of other objects – particularly when exposed to a range of light sources- intensify their localities and invite narrative reflections by the viewer. They invite a process of remembrance and recollection for the future, an extracting of the significant from the transitory and the ephemeral.
