statement: |
|
My installations and sculptures are centred around order, repetition, structure and control. Seemingly strong but fragile, pieces appears complicated but when taken apart are made from a number of basic units. I undertake processes which cannot be done by machine and so are laboriously handmade, there are a number of carefully calculated steps, and this sense of precision almost blinds me to the final piece until it is completed. It is obsessive and frustrating. There is a delicacy in the visual language being employed- though there is a tension in this delicacy created by their large physical scale. Fragile but absolute.
