STATEMENT
My work explores the sublime nature of decorative imagery and its intersection with relationships and objecthood. A consistent theme in my practice is the use of domestic spaces as sites of expression and unintended revelation. Decorative motifs like swans, pink seashells, wax fruit, and heirlooms evoke the magical and political stories of objects.
These images sparked my early interest in the narrative significance of objects, both historically and commercially.
Together, these influences manifest as installations of imagined environments where objects and their surroundings interact in unexpected ways. I create three-dimensional still lives that delve into the complex, sentimental relationships between people and the objects they use and personify. These scenes blend fantasy with reality, challenging ideas about material culture and the often-sinister narratives embedded in our decorations. The stories I create are familiar, but devoid of easy conclusions or clear endings.
