Bachelor of Fine Arts (Drawing & Printmaking)

My objects tease an implied movement, suggesting bodily intervention with materials in constant flux. I recontextualize objects associated with maintenance work, transcending their functions. Materials undertake actions of unmaking and reconstructing as processes of subtraction, whilst retaining the objects connection to and agency within its previous context. Materials are sourced according to convenience and consider alternative exhibition platforms that trouble a near delineation between private and public space. Forms act as impressions of the absent artist, questioning notions of authorship with respect to the histories of the material in use.
