- Biography
I make objects or installations using papier-mâché, clay, textiles, drawing, painting, and sound recordings.
Capturing impermanent temporal aspects of a landscape, such as sound, as well as creating artworks that will decay over time, are recurring urges that reflect an interest in the cycles of life, and entropy.
I often use found materials such as soil, plants, seeds, sheep’s wool, wood and animal bones - materials that left on site, will change, break down or grow, without harming or polluting the environment, but leaving some trace.
