Pupa and Queen

I make sculpture and installations, often with reference to architecture and process. I am inspired by industrial workshop environments, where real human interaction with materials takes place outside of the digital, flat-screen experience of the world. I adopt the unembellished and non-decorative aesthetic of these spaces and infuse it into my visual language. Pupa and Queen looks at how objects exist in a constant flow of change. Through the use of different processes the work has been pushed through a sort of metamorphosis and translated from one stage into another. It is the exposure of mutation of form, of the creation of an organism, with the potential to be pushed into something else. It's a conversation, a dialogue between objects.
