By performing and enacting a series of repetitive transformative actions – whether it is painstakingly unpicking old crocheted doilies, or tearing and gnawing through slabs of foam – through the physicality of my actions, I bestow upon the material an ability to further decay, multiply or spread beyond its original confines. The systems that emerge in my installations contain references to disciplines ranging from topography, biology and the decorative arts. Natural processes are translated, reflected and re-created in my installations. In the process of construction, systems become apparent in the spaces they are assigned to, each self-contained worlds with their own inherent logic.
As the often uncomfortable and destructive actions performed are juxtaposed against the delicate and domestic nature of the materials used, an uneasy alliance results – an oscillation between the familiar and the foreign; between repulsion and attraction, between utility and decoration. |
