As an artist I employ a range of techniques in research-based practice, often re- contextualising materials, methods and tools from other fields. I make work that is transient or ephemeral, relying on natural processes such as the action of insects or the elements to alter the final form of sculpture. I document such projects at different stages in their development or deterioration. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizome theory, my current practice tries to unite disparate images and ideas that strike me as connected; and I try to create site-specific happenings around sculptural objects that coalesce diverse memories and associations.
