“I use lots of methods to explore ideas. Sculpture, drawing, printed matter, writing, moving image, and collaboration... Sourcing ephemera to fetishise, impotise, and propose alternative understandings beyond immediate registers. I think it’s vital to interrogate what’s seen, read and heard to unlock corresponding interpretations for how things could sit in the world. I like to see my work as ‘heterogeneous matter’, rather than a homogenous output. In other words, an evolving critical response and engagement to human-ness within a kaleidoscope of social constructs.”
