I am interested in ways in which emotional pain and loss can be explored. For this I have turned to the landscape of the domestic using simple household objects to appropriate and transform.
Through various processes, which combine sculptural form, photography and installation, I take familiar, ordinary objects like a cup or a chair, with their associations of home and comfort and seek to transform them through acts of destruction and then reconstruction.
