I have a fascination with the disposable and crinkled, the destructed, accidental and misfitted, whether it is people, with their emotions and actions or it is in things and objects around me -this fascination counterbalances and resonates with the dualism of a long upbringing on a hardcore diet of sleek Scandinavian Design.
The morphing meanings of materials today are a following of the last 100 years of development boasting our rich material culture. I am interested in the representation, properties and meanings of material and how these might change. Remixed from knowhow, curiosity and intuition I process and transform stuff.
In a mashup society of consumption and change, the freedom of movement and portability of our identities, require navigation skills beyond what is offered by conventions. I am fascinated by the potential, presence and emotional impact of stuff in our lives. The everyday ephemeral actions, gestures and matter that make us and shape our culture are often overlooked.
Via engaging, direct approaches matter and material transform. By encrusting, encapsulating and solidifying these familiar things I seek to challenge and offer changes in perception.
