upturn

My practice is driven by the visual and intellectual metaphor of seepage. I am interested in how and why experience shapes individuals, my work plays with the idea of the constructed self, conflicting and combining with the idea of identity flux and subject in process.

I gather, collect raw ingredients (physical and mental) for experimental making. My materials come from two distinct areas, the world of construction and the world of the domestic; the County Highways Depot, with bitumen and gritting salt and the strange world of the Charity Shop and the collector's trinket. I find that by combining these materials I can make new collections of curious objects and works. A collection built of and on collections and so on, layers of experiences.

The idea of seepage is now out of the realm of the individual and into the societal. This shift allows many more conceptual links and levels of significance within works and a wealth of future areas of research, reflection and making.
