Statement:
I initially start with the question of how much I can ‘work’ a surface. All the works display a multiplicity of marks
(scratching, piercing or drawing) which result in surfaces resonant with the prolonged activity of their own deconstruction.
I stop working on the paper when it achieves a state of fragility whereby its coherent form would be under threat if subjected
to further marks.
The works share a concern with the existence and possible non-existence of objects, with each piece displaying a material
narrative of making/unmaking. The process allows the work to be visually and imaginatively ‘rewound’, bringing with it an
awareness that a part is missing, identifying a loss.
