the diy

There are cracks in the lintel, 

broken by mourning and tied to the breath of this place.

Space.

There are veins in the cladding, 

ten decades of river beds that beat it into submission.

Demolition.

Skins fray open borderlines: brick   to insulation    to its plaster d i vid e, 

peeling at its construction.

Production.

About the artist

Memories are crafted, built by the phenomena of being, and become etched into the spaces we inhabit. Pulling from my early years of relocating and from my later years spent living and working on an old Victorian home, I have developed a deep interest in how personal connections fasten themselves to architectural space and their features.

With meticulously sculpted, casted, built, and fractured installations, I explore personal memories layered within the architecture of place and interior spaces. Often creating tactile sensorial experiences between my work and the audience, I welcome collaboration through physical engagement with my ‘installations in flux’, further troubling the distinction between construction and deconstruction, care and neglect. 

Whether fabricating, assembling, writing, sculpting, or removing, my process-based practice is shaped by careful acts of layering and material choice. The built fragility of my installations highlight the ephemeral nature of constructed place: which memories will be cared for and which will be left to ruin?
