I am interested in buildings and in the way that architecture can act as a metaphor for our internal selves (the body as a building that houses the mind). My work is concerned with the enduring sense of memory and/or personal identity that is often embedded into or linked with built space.

I tend to make work that has minute environments; micro-architectures contained within a larger sculpture or reassembled piece of furniture. I enjoy work that is difficult to access wholly so it is always semi-private and that has a sense of discovery; the use of mirrors and spy holes are an important and reoccurring feature in my work. The sculpture that I make usually stands alone because, like singular memory, it only exists in one person.

I am especially drawn to the more uninhabited spaces of buildings; corners, recesses, passageways, stairways, entrances and exits. I see these spaces as being only half open, a niche or recess for example is half wall, half opening, half box. Bachelard writes in The Poetics of Space, that the corner 'is a symbol of solitude for the imagination'. It is this idea of imagination, creating a narrative from an empty space, along with social and personal histories that provides me rich material with which to work.

I find that my own language of non-functional / modelled spaces can act as a mediator for those things that I want to externalise yet that I need to keep private or hidden from others. My work is immaterial architecture: It is a way of modelling myself.
