Having just completed an MFA Textiles at Goldsmiths College my practice has
necessarily shifted from being focused on an exploration of the medium of felt to
an exploration of the critical themes that drive my creativity. 

Recently, I have worked with sculptural installation, often very large scale, using
the raw qualities of specific, familiar materials to explore object and structure and
its relationship to the surrounding space.

Intrigued by the idea that a physical mass can inspire both attraction and repulsion,
I work with the shifting dynamic between the sculpture that dominates the space
and the space that contains and defines it. 

In practice, a sculpture, often monolithic, emerges out of a response to the
selected material - felt, cardboard, copper pipe etc - grappling to create form
while allowing the material to remain itself – stitching and hanging felt, cutting and
constructing cardboard. The physical presence of the object is subverted by
drawing across the given space with lines of tape, stretched elastic and two
dimensional echos of the object. The structure of the space is negotiated, details
toyed with and de-familiarised to become integral parts of the finished installation.

Visually, the work suggests a defunct industrialisation or a strange, homemade,
alien anthropomorphism. Offering, then, a reference to a history and a future, my
installations draw the viewer in, prompting a questioning of their own physicality
and position in relation to that of the space and the object.
