How do you describe your own art practice?
My work comprises sculpture and installation often in reference to architecture and industrial processes. Within my installations, I import studio arrangements and objects of the process into the exhibition space to bring the intimacy of the making to the audience. In the installation, my sculptures are in conversation with the space. Sometimes the work functions as a prosthesis, whereas other times objects of space are decontextualized.
