I am inspired by objects that I find, or that have a past life. The objects feature in my work and inform what I make to compliment and highlight the found thing, or to contrast with it. I also love to take photographs of rusty things, decrepit buildings or anything that looks like its on its last legs. Taking pictures is my way of drawing - I’m awful at drawing!
I could be walking for the rest of my life finding objects. That process will take forever. It’s something I’ve done long before I went to university to study Decorative Arts and is just part of who I am. I probably take longer than most to make in materials however, as I’m trying to learn how to handle every material, so far without mastering one. Typically, I would say a piece (which I consider to mean several objects combined together in a display) can take at least one month.
