Artist’s Statement
My work is based on the
reconfiguration of materials
and images . I alter objects
and materials with the extreme
sense of irony; choosing to
address philosophical
questions and cultural issues
through employing succint
humorous gestures. I
constantly collect images from
the internet , recognizing its
search option as an
unparaleled oportunity to gain
access to wide variety of
visual material. I alter the
collected images by digital
means to accommodate my
comments relating to their
source or context they were
culled from.
My sculptures enact visual
stunts calling into question
how objects are utilized
within everyday life citing
both the subtle marks that
become embedded within objects
and also also the effect that
objects have within space. I
am interested in the
vocabulary of advertising and
its ability to deliver the
maximum of information in
reductive , visual bites.
Overall, my work shifts the
use value of commonplace
objects and images , through
my subtle interventions. I
invite the viewer to reflect
upon these meticulously
selected entities that are
normally encountered within
everyday life and by
manipulating their
functionality , I invest these
objects and materials with a
unique yet accessible
sculptural presence.
