Artist Statement  
 

Much of my 3D work stems from line drawings featuring a repetitive motif. The line drawings have a density that lends them a textural quality.

Drawing can serve as a means of escapism or an aid to thought, it can also disfigure or conceal in addition to expressing ideas.

I am working with the theme of desire and ideas Freudian, in the context of anxiety, loss and control.

My working methods involve ways of manipulating materials. I prefer where possible to use the throwaway object, life's detritus. Fruit skins and peels are particularly apt in that they are good stand ins for human skin. They age, shrivel and rot, they are also manipulable albeit in an unpredictable way.
