Investigating the historical, allegorical, and personal use of objects, I explore humanity’s complex relationship to materiality. My practice examines how objects are used to compensate for and mediate the wretchedness of the human condition, providing a sense of control, understanding, and permanence in our ephemeral existence. By combining semi-recognisable found and created objects, I work to materialise the liminal. Sculptural assemblages act as spatial poetry, infused with personal and universal symbolism created from object reductions. These exist as esoteric manifestations of in-betweenness, interwoven with personal narratives of pain and perseverance.
