Artist Statement
In my work I explore belonging.
I play with boundaries and transitions.
In the past two years I have tried to bridge architectural and artistic processes.
My Cube is made of mild steel, proportioned to the initial space of the exhibition room, with a propylene rope strung around it. The cube provided a framework from which rhythmical patterns of movement could be recorded. This particular pattern was made in proportion to my body and used a play of perspective to attract attention towards the middle of the cube. At night when the cube was artificially lit, there was a play of shadows, which resonated with the existing pattern.
Life and after life, was as a reflection of our journey through life stages, where a ladder was placed within a group of barbed wire rolls, drawing on the symbolism of the materials.
Twins and Wrapped are about moments in time.
