Scouring junkyards I rescue abandoned objects. Some are chosen for their beauty of form, others are chosen for their potential to tell a story. The objects lend to my sculptures a sense of history and memory, of intrigue and familiarity. Improvising, I explore the random interplay between objects I have carefully collected within my studio. They begin to suggest possible narratives and I follow their lead.

There is a strange beauty and a strong rhythm of story within abandoned objects. They seem to observe the peculiarities of our everyday lives. The sculptures I make explore narratives of journey, individual identity, fate, human vulnerability and fortitude. I aim to bring forward an element of both the comic and the tragic within a sculpture, to speak something of the curious absurdity that is being human.

Intrigued by the malleable boundary marking an object as a toy, an artifact or a sculpture, I produce works that suggest play, infer functional movement, and are finely crafted so that they appear as if they are actual relics from some oddball post-apocalyptic steampunk civilization.
