	ARTIST STATEMENT ARTIST CV RECENT WORK WORK 2008/2009 WORK 2007/2008 CONTACT	The language I explore is material and process based. Using found objects, industrial and domestic materials, as well as different fabrics, I develop processes which produce transformations. These processes are always experimental so that the outcome is a surprise. In this respect, the reading of the work is in its making and I'm fascinated by the apparent ability of materials and objects to retain a temporal quality of process. I always try to avoid the habitual and instead keep an eye on thoughtless moments, escapes and improvisations: this is when things might open up! The objects move towards the unknown and have a non-identity, absurd quality. For me, meaning is ex post facto and provisional. There's a constant dialogue between reading and making whereby each responds to the other. My approach is philosophical. I am interested in materialism, absurdism, the Frankfurt School, as well as European post structuralism.
