My work creates a mystical universe, in which common associative links are obstructed – manifesting everything, while embodying nothing.
Immersed in contradictions, the work seeks that which can emerge from impossibilities if they are pushed to their limit. By applying hybrid modalities, predominantly in sculpture and performance, I seek to muddy the waters between reality and metaphor.
Turning to ancestry and the ancient roots of civilisation – forming a symbolic gestural language of sanctity and ritual – I channel what remains the Earth’s greatest currency and humanity’s most treasured gift.
With puckish wit and through spirited play, my art imagines a world full of potential, but it also draws attention to its unsettling truths.
