ABOUT
I create mixed media work that speaks through architectural forms. I am interested in exploring architecturality, which is to say an architectural state of being, and how this translates: how structures and spaces shape our lives and form our sense of self. To this end, I have made architecture-themed series about memories, building fantasies, documentation and the tactility of place. Drawing on a background in architectural conservation, my art looks at the histories and significance of buildings/spaces/places, whether from a personal or collective perspective. My love of craftsmanship and the act of making by hand – which is distilling the essence of things at an overseeable scale – motivated me to make the transition back to art. Now I draw, paint, cut and paste to build artworks that depict buildings and environments that feel both familiar and surreal.
