I use the medium of sculpture to create props which question systems of order. I transform the material qualities of functional objects to the point that they become absurd, anthropomorphic or alluring. This enables moments of enquiry and theatricality. My sculptures are often animated through sound, audience interaction, robotics and movable components. They act as bodies exhaling, lolling and recoiling. Traditional techniques of casting and mould-making form the basis of my interdisciplinary approach, while photography, video and performance support the sculptural.
My research explores the intersection between the female body and sculpture. Recently I have been creating vocalising sculptures – through embedding sound into the artworks they hum, wail and harmonize.
