statement:
|
I am a three dimensional designer, my current work consists mainly of lighting and small items of furniture/ accessories for the home which have an emphasis on innovative use of processes and materials and visual reference (in some cases) to conceptual issues.
I am particularly interested in local culture and its role within our community and society. Much of my work is functional yet artistic by concept. I believe in the design of “smart products” which not only serve a functional purpose to improve our physical life experience, but contribute to thought provocation to educate and inform. I work with a variety of materials and equipment, my practise does not focus on a particular “style” or method – instead it is fabricated as appropriate in response to the concept developed or the problem that is to be solved, as a result I work within all material areas but mainly with plastics, metals, timber and found objects. In order to construct my work I have to use a range of both hand tools and small bench mounted electrical equipment. |
