Artist Statement:
Following in a long tradition
of art and the body, my
interests lie with themes of
life, death and illness.
I make highly formal
sculptures using materials
that are often medical, such
as syringes, hypodermic
needles, microscopic slides
and plastic airline tubing.
These materials bring the work
into the context of medical
intervention and of the
hospital as place. They also
help to convey feelings of the
fragility and vulnerability of
the human condition. Using
these materials as a starting
point in an exploratory way,
the work develops organically,
acting on natural instincts,
and taking inspiration from
both personal experience and
research. As a result, each
piece is autonomous.
Artists of influence include
Eva Hesse, Helen Chadwick and
Mona Hatoum.
