I am fascinated by the contradictions and ironic moments in the built environment and in modern daily life. My work investigates these contradictions and moments; proposing uncanny relationships between simulated and real/ authenticity and replica/fragility and structure. I often rearrange or distort the seemingly banal; exploring metaphorical significance and toying with puns that speak of diffused historical recollections, socio-cultural identity and mass production.

My work is informed by theatrical architecture and the semiotics of the stage which provides a platform to develop systems of mimetic signs that perform in the work. I think of the objects, spatial relations and constructions as components of a staged scene. The corresponding concepts of evidence, detritus, ruin and the representation of time in a suspended state play integral roles. Visible in my use of scale disparities to blur the relationship between the object and viewer and the scenes or arrangements that stand as evidence of some unknown or happened-upon event.
