My work seeks to animate the mundane by manipulating a series of everyday images through representation in multiple
mediums. I began creating soft pastel sketches to recreate interior spaces, using colour to maintain the outline of
individual objects within a larger mass. This style grew more ambitious as I began to incorporate both a larger scale and a
greater variety of material. My more recent pieces rely on this use of material to let texture represent object, and create
physical depth. Within this I wanted to maintain calmness in each piece, so incorporated cleaner mediums, ranging from
photography to tinfoil.
In my most recent work this medium became film, through the projection of video onto the ‘tv screen’ on the back wall
of my piece. After creating work that was becoming increasingly domestic, I thought about reflecting the content of this
theme in the presentation of my works. Consequently, my work has been presented within an interior, homely scene,
reflecting its content into the surrounding space. This projection of domestic and interior themes is also present in my
use of film, as I produced a series of short clips to further develop these within my final piece.
