I’m interested in the transformative element- changing how we understand space, objects, images- through reimagining the use of them, questioning why those things- our physical contexts- exist as they do, and what dictates our use and understanding of them. I explore these themes through a variety of forms, whether it be site-specific interventions, text based distributive works, collage, installations and print works.
