I am an artist and maker based in Glasgow. My work is an experimental merging of traditional craft, construction techniques and contemporary sculptural practice. It explores how objects can become uncanny subversions of themselves, containing the potential for playful narrative and performance. The usefulness versus uselessness of art objects is central. I enjoy creating my own bizarre language, drawing influences from folklore and storytelling to transform the familiar into something strange and offer ways of retelling what is known.
The objects that I make often come from the strangeness of the place in-between sleep and wake. They are relics of forgotten things, but are based firmly in the present through their making. I have been focused on learning material manipulation processes and traditional craft skills, and physical making is always at the forefront of my practice.
