The materials that I tend to use are everyday, accessible objects, and are often found or sourced naturally. Removing them from their original contexts encourages storytelling and engagement with the piece. The work is often displayed in glass vitrines as they are frequently delicate and fragile; vitrines also allow for the curation of the space that the pieces inhabit, suggesting museum cases, artifacts and collections; they place the piece out of time, again slowing down the observation and the retelling of the story.

Within art, anything is possible: scale, materiality, and time don’t matter, animals and humans coexist on the same level. The diversity of materials — both found and processed — within the work provides the opportunity and freedom to invent metaphors which run parallel with the subject matter.
