| studio practice statement |

In my practice, I work with objects and images which typically define and reinforce spaces of privilege by creating of sites of control. These include materials like chain link fence and barriers. I am also intrigued by the objects which inhabit this inversely demarcated space of privilege; especially items which also reside at the edges or boundaries of those sites. These have included pieces of suburban lawns, ornamentation like garden flags or windsocks and shisa guardian figures.

I take these objects and restructure their relationships in a kind of speculative exercise. These newly configured arrangements of objects emerge from the detritus of original sites. The pieces are built from objects that still carry with them the traces of their original social purpose but have been adapted to more ambiguous formations, allowing the potential for agency or critique.
