I create sculptures that live in our world as they would in their own, moving and crawling around or sitting on the wall like a patch of ivy on a house front. I strive to create new, strange and ugly imagery, paired with a sense of familiarity, and I try to achieve this through a variety of colours, shapes and forms.
I want to make things that are not among us, but have the potential to be, things that feel close but also very far, things that trigger a sense of absurdness, but comfort at the same time.
I mostly work with flowy, malleable material that can move on its own due to chemical reactions. This allows me to work together along the material, not solely with it. I like to think that my material is my work partner, doing its own thing while I influence it. I want the material to expand and move in a way that feels and looks natural, like a living, breathing organism would. It creates its own shape and form, and is alive for a short time until it hardens. These few minutes are an important part in my practice. I envision my work to be very much alive, and this step of autonomous movement strengthens the idea to me.
