A child sees immense potential in the everyday objects they are surrounded by and easily uncouples them from their intended function to create new meanings: a table and its cloth can become a den, a box and a plate can become a car. 

I take inspiration from these creative acts to reconfigure and recontextualise discarded objects. The completed work often evokes not only playfulness, but also the precarious relationship between objects, people and environments. 

Committed to sustainability, I draw on the inherent traits of these found materials to create assemblage, sculpture, photographic and moving image artworks.
