Relocated from Thanet to London; travelling in the opposite direction of a community of displaced creatives setting up homes, studios and galleries in Margate and Ramsgate; ideas of duality and the perceived cultural significance contemporary art may or may not hold is at the centre of a continually developing practice. Concerned with the conceptual definition and boundaries of “the model”, works are often sculptural and material interventions, consistently employing processes closely related to typical model making techniques. Objects take forms of hollow shells, “2 dimensional” entities, mass produced replicas or readymades, treated and/or framed in ways which deliberately obscure or re-contextualise their true nature or existences. Contextually informed by deliberately juxtaposed sources, works are skeptical amalgamations of academic texts and philosophies, film and television and of music and social media; reprocessed and therefore critical of the distinctions and categorisations between one another.
