The materials I use - timber, rusted metal, glass and other found objects - have had previous lives, were discarded, “rescued” and then re-worked to create individual pieces.
Each piece is themed on "chambers", which invite the viewer to interact by opening the door to reveal the story within – and to come up with their own subjective interpretation.
These are artworks not just designed to sit on a shelf or hang on a wall, but also they invite the viewer to connect with the art, both by looking into the piece and using their imagination to read the story as it is unlocked by their actions.
