I interrogate and explore the narrative that objects can tell us, imbued with cultural energy, laden with social meaning, personal attachment and symbolism. In seeking out small elements of beauty and interest in everyday life, I find moments and objects that can either bind, comfort and hold us, or confront and surprise us, exploring the tension that can exist between these. Interrogating notions of what is worthless, meaningless and what can have value and is precious, this facilitates the possibilities in creating.

 

The theme of collecting is consistent too, creating order from chaos, observing similarities and disparities.

 

I am known for my work with The Breadtag Project, a long term art/environmental/awareness program, using breadtags as a creative medium. The breadtags are saved and sent to me from people all over the world, making these donators an inherent part of the creating process.
