Working with the material and conceptual fabric of “the model”; conventions, distinctions, histories and control structures are examined and disrupted via a largely sculptural practice existing in the equally prescriptive territory of “contemporary art”. Cheap plastic reproductions and inkjet prints of overtired imagery create pathetic installations of referential “existentialism”; sincerity or projection? Philosophy or trash TV? Materially reframing objects with imposed significances, alteration of existing framework and function to be reinserted as an art object draws attention to model of art itself; often skeptical of its capabilities and alleged audience. Equally underpinned by academic texts and popular culture, works are deeply responsive, reflective, parasitical and self aware; inauthenticity and simulacra sit longingly at odds with speculation and romanticism.
