me the “Art of transformation”, comes through working with discarded 2D and 3D materials. The call to action, imprinted in the artwork allows allowing me to challenge the factuality of materiality by altering and modifying an objects utilitarian purpose, translated into a new visual language while retaining aspects of its conceptual purpose and history.
Most of the 3D objects are transformed into abstract open-framework figurative sculptures. While 2D discarded photographic, sourced imagery and other ephemeral materials becomes the materials for collages, and mixed media assemblage.
The sculptures show the body as a framework analogous to the major skeleton, providing structure, containing the potential for emotional connection the viewer fills with their own personal iconography.
