My
practice, exploring the object, the audience and the maker within the sphere of
expanded, interactive sculpture is based on an experimental approach to making.
These sculptural investigations focus on the interactions between humans and
the architecture of modern life.
Hoping
to avoid pessimism, each work can be seen as an insertion or rethinking of
everyday situations that involve our using systems and machines, asking the
question, ‘If we make this situation more/less ‘human’, how might that affect
things?’
Recent
works have materialised as interactive installations, where the audience is
required to move around the space, exploring the details in order to find the
whole. There is a quasi-scientific flavour to these constructions, wherein the
artist is held up as a subject of observation, as much as the physical elements
on display. Video serves as documentation and also as the point at which
objectivity might claim to arrive.
