About me
b. 1998
Based in Merseyside
Through my practice, I distil the world using pen, paper, sculpture, text and image. While the drawings take place on paper, the sculptures take place on MDF, canvas, and clay. The starting point for everything I make is the drawings. They come from evaluating, questioning, and criticising the human experience, reality and a performance of self. I am simultaneously inward and outward looking. The drawings also function as a documentation of clips of reality that can be bypassed. Somewhere someone is saying something.
The objects I make are informed by my drawings. This brings the work closer to the viewer by the ability to hold or be towered over by an object, they create an environment. Some of the sculptures are interactive in their nature, but by looking so clean this makes you feel like you can’t touch it. And I don’t think you’d take a satchel to a party.
The work aims to reduce and open up questions around the lives we live, and to make the audience feel as though they have stepped into an offbeat environment, a space where information is written down and displayed, but they have to figure it out for themselves. Did serenity ever exist?
