My sculptural practice focuses on transformation—taking everyday interior
materials like carpet, wallpaper, cable, and furniture and turning them into
forms that feel both familiar and strangely unfamiliar. These materials, often
linked to comfort and domestic routine, become unsettling when altered. I like
to use this shift to explore tensions between surface and depth, stability and
collapse, humour and discomfort. There’s often a quiet, sometimes dark
humour in the work that invites people to look twice.
Much of my recent work responds to the shifting environment of the Isle of
Wight, drawing on its eroding coastlines, fragile ecosystems, and personal
memory. These sculptures reflect on cycles of growth, decay, and
disappearance—not just in nature, but in our own lives and built environments.
My practice sits at the edge of sculpture and installation, inviting viewers to
engage physically and emotionally, to pause, and to look twice
