Statement
My interests lie within what is hidden, practically and psychologically, behind surfaces or beyond our reach. I look at connections between the systems and structures inside our walls and floors, and infrastructures inside our body or brain or the patterns in the sky. The urban environment with its electricity and fluids that rush by without us noticing, is an inspiration as it is essential to our modern life yet invisible. I often use elements that can bring out a physical response in the viewer, such as choosing a material with visceral qualities, or a subject with a direct link to our gut feeling.
My work is often site-specific as I am interested in the qualities of our environment and the effect it has on us. In Corporeal (2010), I permanently fixed body organs made in fibreglass to different sites in the city of Edinburgh, as a response to the very bodily qualities of this city. Much of my work blends into its environment in the same manner, like Object (2010), which is a wire cast in uncoloured resin fixed to the wall. Only its material gives away the fact that it is anything other than a functional wire, having a quality of something like bodily fluid or skin.
