In my practice I observe the movements of the body as it translates emotions, physical impairments and pain thresholds of our bodily vessel. I primarily utilise materials easily malleable like soft metal rod, the pliable and viscosity of wax and the durability, strength, and the rich earthy tones of bronze. I translate the gestural line and form of the body in motion and express the rhythms that resonate within the form.

Through this intimate application of material, I respond to the raw and personal connections identifying similarities of our uniqueness and those innate, intrinsic qualities that we identify as ‘self’. I am interested in the distinctly shared body, while wanting to push that ‘otherness’ that separates us from each other. All these responses I evoke as a sensory trigger, that uncanny feeling we have when we just can’t put our finger on it.
