36*

Scatter pattern

This piece of collage is a shattering of paper based adverts, and was done using a tesselating shape to build up what I see as a sprawling organic mass. The work felt very intuitive to construct as I amassed lots of paper based advertising and built up blocks of form and colour as I cut and applied the work to the board.

Artist's Profile

Multidisciplinary artist working predominantly in sculpture and mixed media. Taking inspiration from traditional construction and building techniques , I create objects and images that offset raw materials with vivid colour and crafted surfaces.

My current series of work is focused on the digestion of visual material. Creating collages from found imagery I meticulously paint a copy of the collage onto boards and finally create the work from cutting up the painted boards and building sculptures from the remnants of this destructive process.

The sculptures themselves bring into focus an ongoing investigation into the application of craft processes and materials in the creation of robust sculptural objects.
