Informed by my fascination with words and communicative signifiers, my practice revolves around the ways in which written language can be translated into three-dimensional art objects. Exploring the journey between abstraction and the legible, and the journey through and around structures, and how word and letter forms – legible or abstracted – can tangibly take up space, no longer confined to the two-dimensional. My practice is rooted in the written word and a desire to cultivate and involve community; both in a temporal and permanent sense. Allowing the works to hold space as sculptures and places for physical – perhaps more childlike – interaction and embodiment. I am intrigued by the materiality of objects and working in collaboration with other artists and artisans. As my projects evolve they become more and more interdisciplinary, not restricted or confined. My most recent work ‘The Conversational Playground: To twist, to tend’ is an exploratory installation into how art can cultivate community, inviting interaction beyond just the visual; what it means to physically embody a word.
