Statement

Examining the way shapes and forms co-exist or interact has always been how I have seen the environment around me. Different dialogues are created through the resulting additions of shapes or when one shape is subtracted from another, it is like creating a language, whether it is looking at architectural structures, geometric abstraction or the subtleties of everyday interactions. Shapes convey differing tones or notes when relating to each other, creating space and voids that have resonance. As we move around a group of shapes and forms, tones and spaces hollow, deepen or ascend, it is an inaudible poetry: spatial poetics.

We inhabit two worlds in parallel. Two different universes that equally follow the laws of physics; one material, with mass and volume and the other a mathematical construct assembled from binary information.
In this body of work these two worlds, the material and the digital, become a metaphor for the mind and the body, as well as for the physical and the metaphysical. What happens when these two fields, the real and the virtual, combine to create a dialectical object? This enquiry becomes a balance between the tangible and the intangible, information under different guises occupying divergent structures of space and time. Sculpture becomes a post-industrial allegory for the landscape of contemporary culture, an objective social marker, defining a space; a void between words and ideas creating a dialogue. The objects become an emblem of the relationship between the self and the world, fractured between two spaces and yet of space. A table becomes dysfunctional through digital interference, space folds in on itself paused moments before a singularity, mathematical language becomes landscape and noise becomes form.
