Sculpture • Painting • Installation
‘Precarity is the condition of being vulnerable to others. Unpredictable encounters transform us; we are not in control, even of ourselves.’
Anna Tsing, The Mushroom at The End of the World
I work between the disciplines of sculpture, painting and installation, acknowledging that art making operates across realms of uncertainty and precarity.
I explore collisions of matter, metaphor and making processes, which reveal surprising, porous and shifting flows of knowledge and meaning. Practice as research is integral to my method of working as an artist.
