| description: | Whilst studying the sciences at college, I began to make unusual connections between the physical world and the visual world through a sculptural perspective, these articulated interesting formal and conceptual questions. I appropriate popular household and industrial appliances in order to find strange and unknown functions in their performances, motivated by a desire to catalyse domestic equivalents of spectacular events that you might see only once in your life, if ever, like a dying star. I am also inspired by the properties of materials that I use when making a piece of work. These properties are usually fundamental to the workings of the sculpture which enables elusive energy to interact with the materials used. This elusive energy can be transformed into many different types of physical, visual or acoustic performances. Although the sculptures I produce are evolving with that of the modern world. I am particularly inspired by many 19th and 20th century actions ranging from the industrial revolution, in particular the engineering of Isambard Kingdom Brunel to the events that happened during WW II. My practice attempts to make an uncommon experience common in a controlled situation by constructing kinetic sculptures that form microcosms of our universe. I operate as an artist, scientist and engineer, translating the ordinary into the impossible, recreating scientific and celestial phenomena out of spinning tops, magnets, vacuum cleaners and running machines. |
