Sculptures
These works are miniature installation projects. Working in doll house scale I create buildings, environments and inhabitants that inform each story or theme. Materials range from paint, wood construction, mini electrical, video, sound and projection.
Carnival at the end of the World
This installation offers a glimpse into a post-apocalyptic future where mutants produce a simplified version of our civilization. This thought experiment imagines a society that is in constant play and flux where notions of progress, surplus and any dominant narratives are banned as unsustainable. Like the paintings of Bosch and Bruegel, Carnival at the End of the World is a morality tale, a hyperbolic representation of our lives, as they are or might be.
Possible Worlds
Possible Worlds is an exhibition of five homes from our possible futures. Knowing that we face a future impacted by climate change, rising sea levels and other environmental disasters, pandemics and pollution, how will individual people and families respond? In these scale models, I imagine five different coping strategies.
Home (In)Security
Home (In)Security is a series of work featuring small homes that contain narrative clues through videos and miniature installations. The work is a hyperbolic account of the present obsession with the home and security. These works incorporate high and low technologies to explore how we are remodelling our homes into little utopias that are still haunted, ironically, by the outside world through virtual means. These works all play on the idea of our homes as places of safety or confinement. We find refuge in them but they can also be places of fear
