Personal Statement
My work aims to comment on, and provoke questions about our place within the planet. Since mans beginning, we have left traces of activity, adapting things to our needs along the way. Over a period of time, we have become increasingly distanced and sheltered from the life of the world we inhabit, creating a formidable discord. With population continuously rising, our demands on its resources are more apparent than ever.
Our attempts to control and intervene with certain aspects of nature can often lead to catastrophic repercussions. My concern lies with these environmental disasters, and how they serve to erase marks of our existence. Using a juxtaposition of natural and man-made materials, and organic and constructed forms, I attempt to create beautiful objects in celebration of life whilst simultaneously questioning our actions towards this remarkable planet which we find ourselves upon.
