Working across different mediums of photography, industrial materials and ready-made objects, I aim to create a dialogue through these materials. I am interested in how material informs our memory and understanding of objects. Through the extraction of these elements I aim to reformulate and toy with their inherent function. Imagery is used to redirect the relationship of these materialities to suggest a new proposition. My practice is informed by everyday domestic and industrial settings, I like to alter the context of the object and what it means to situate it in a different environment. I aim to create tensions and question these altered perspectives.
