Artist Statement:

My work takes a traditional household object, the doily, out of its original context and then abstracts and distorts it before placing it back in a domestic space.
In order to create objects that have a relationship with various surfaces, each piece is formed with a specific space in mind, initially utilising corners initially as areas to work with.

Exploring the technique of photo etching has allowed my work to make the translation from graphic image to metal. The etching process is important as it creates a sense of depth within the piece.

I have applied light to create shadows with my initial pieces, this new interaction has been a developmental tool for ongoing artwork.

The projection of these shadows and other techniques can also communicate ideas of scale. This whole process deals with the interplay of negative and positive, utilising the space which would normally be insignificant to become something just as substantial, if not more so, than the original pieces.
