Artist Statement:
My sculptures, surfaces and installations explore the temporal phenomena of movement that permeate our daily life. My work considers the uncertain moments of ephemeral action, adopting dynamic materials and flowing forms as a vocabulary to communicate the evanescent and almost imperceptible life of casual gestures. The artistic intervention serves as a memory of the fleeting and gives permanence to what is otherwise transient.
Materialities are fluid, almost as if time is documented in its inexorable forward motion. Perception blurs, flutters, and reinvents. Through the interaction between viewer and image, changes of direction are constantly altered and interrelated. New mutable spaces and forms emerge, sliding amorphously into each other, detaching from each other, and then finding each other again. The ephemeral can be manifest here at the same time.
The act of capturing the fleeting - making it absolute - is a method of uncovering the passage of time through artistic practice.
