Artist's Statement
My work investigates the relationship between people and place and how we understand and are formed by our environment. I often use existing spaces and objects as a basis for transformation and intervention. Instead of creating autonomous art objects I am responding to what is already there.
In both my art and design work I explore the concept of interior space as either a protection from, or connection to the rest of the world. I am interested in the transition from the inside to the outside, from private to public, both literally as a physical journey, and conceptually as an inner journey, from a private sense of self to a lived experience of being in the world.
