Artist Statement:
Growing, feeding, and
sheltered on or in a different
organism while contributing
nothing to the survival of its
host, fungus that produces a
growth on various kinds of
damp or decaying organic
matter.
Super seeding and reproduced
we consume enabling societies
to survive yet damage is done
as we the professional dinner
guests do not benefit our host
yet harm it by association.
Undermining and decaying the
fabric of its existence.
Infiltration and assimilation!
In our short existence we
exploit and expose the need to
consume. Our tacky and
superficial exteriors entice
parasites which aid the state
of our surroundings.
We are concerned with a
surface; not deep or
penetrating emotionally or
intellectually, here to aid in
the renovation and finance of
this building like fungi
waiting to be nibbled on by
some hungry creature while
sucking the life out of the
organism we survive on.

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
In the past few months’ artists such as Chiaharu Shiota, Claire Barclay, Jim Lambie have influenced my approach to installation works. Others like Bridget Riley, Paul Dignan for their use of colour and line along with personal favourites such as Helen Chadwick, Paula Rego, Jenny Saville for the themes explored within their work and artists like Mark Dion and Patricia Piccinin for their approaches to developing ideas and their ability to bridge gaps between fact and fiction which has been a big interest in my artistic practice. Tracy Emin, Rosemarie Trockel and Annette Messanger’s appliance of crafts used within their work influences my own and how I am often drawn towards issues of gender through ‘women’s work’.
