The Non-Objective World
Human nature craves conformity, structures, order; yet my body of work interrogates the deception of our perceived reality which brings the comforting and familiar into an uncomfortable setting.
This work, collectively, creates a warped surrounding. Familiar objects are portrayed as strange, absurd and illogical. This manipulation of the reliable, the ordered yet on closer inspection chaotic, challenges the viewer in a social context. Material properties exploit the oppressive and obsessive, allowing for a provocative twist on assumptions and sensations. Materiality plays out in a variety of media, including installation, film, motion, food processing techniques and the more traditional disciplines of painting and sculpture.
The balance between the established and the unknown challenges society’s transparency and questions the untruth. The installation creates an authentic space to contemplate our personal and internal revolutions.
