My work is based on revealing the potential of object and material with which we have an assumed knowledge. This is done through simple gestures applied to readymade objects, often stemming from domestic environments. Through these alterations I attempt to create a sense of wonder and provoke a moment of recognition of the everyday environment which is often more assumed then experienced.

Fragmentation, deconstruction and reconstruction, erosion of singular meaning within a context are all methods I have used to pursue the concept of crossing. Through these processes of layering and imposing information a shift occurs in our assumptions, and knowledge of the object. This shift or crossing from common or routine to unexpected and unknown is the primary consideration with which I am intrigued. The isolation from its common scenario helps trigger our sense of memory, or recognition of the altered object.
