ARTIST STATEMENT


Using space as sculptural material, I create relationships between objects, ideas and environments. I am intrigued by space and the physical experience of traversing it. In my architectural interventions I attempt to share this fascination with the viewer, providing a space of inter-subjectivity.

I am interested in creating artwork that lies in the continuum between sculpture and architecture. My pieces fuse with and inundate their sites - as opposed to merely sitting in them. I manipulate the structures that change our response to environments. In my installations the interface between organic and geometric creates a physical unhinging. This is compounded by an anxiety, which is completely interwoven in the viewer's experience.

The forms that I introduce to a surface emanate organically, extruding and morphing out of the rigidity of the architecture. Unidentifiable genitalia, bodily secretions, and orifices ooze organic life into the gallery space. If the relationship between form and space is seamless, the viewer has to come to terms with the area they occupy. This form-space homogeneity creates a sensory schism and may force a re-examination of all one's spatial relationships.
