artist's statement
My practise is process lead; through experimentation and rigorous
editing I explore the possibilities of found industrial and domestic
materials. Ockham’s Razor, the principle of parsimony
(“Plurality should not be posited without necessity”)
informs my way of thinking. I integrate the Fluxus idea of a simple
gesture as part of the process of creating. Minimalist sensibilities
are
reinterpreted and a more organic, ornamental response is incorporated.
As my artworks are site specific I introduce psychological tensions to
heighten the senses and engage the viewer directly. Artworks are
propped against a wall or spread over the surface of the floor; these
actions reinforce the delicacy and ephemeral nature of the work.
