I love what I can afford to love. My work investigates the relationship of material and process. Form and method are founded in the means by which a thing is made. My work negotiates the relationship between the manmade and the natural. Where something is made and what something is made out of effects the act of making. Matter is the substance of everything that exists. It emerges from the natural world with logics, physical attributes and systems that govern it. From erosion to food chains, growth patterns to land forms, the world is a physical realization of cause and effect. My interest lies in understanding these systems, and out of this understanding produce a revelation and expression of the often invisible physical constraints with harmonious structures (built or unbuilt). The addition of the mark through additive making generates a complimentary conversation. My hope is to produce place based proposals and small impromptu fabrications that are expressive engagements with the majesty of a contextual landscape. My work is founded in a synthetic vision of art and architecture, bridging between the experiential and emotively perceptual nature of art and the rational tectonics of formal systems. Focused on the relationship of the part to holistic form all in relation to the spatial and effectual result, my work, through drawing, painting, design proposals and installation is in search of experiential environments that emerge from the distinctness of a natural place and allow the viewer to fully immerse themselves in an experience to understand and focus on the place. Rooted in perception, the work compliments material abstraction to produce sensorial effect. The result is contextually derived interventions that facilitate viewing and experience. |
