My practice analyses the different contexts a single or grouped ‘thing’ can be viewed in. That ‘thing’ within my work consists of discarded objects… found again. I aim to recreate journeys through the city where objects previously discarded have been encountered. Through archiving these found objects and reassembling them within a gallery space I take them out of context and give them greater importance. The assemblages I create evoke a memory or emotion that may not have been acknowledged as we navigate through the streets. Putting them in a white cube type space invites the viewer to consider where previously they would pass by when located in its place of abandonment. The environment created not only draws significance to the objects, but the situation as a whole, referencing the journey and the environment within one isolated scene.

In my current practice I am concerned with the objectivity and phenomenology of colour. Through using media such as light and coloured acetate, my present work is intentionally focused and uncluttered, allowing colour to be considered as a singularity without any...

With a love for colour my work addresses form and shape and the impact this has on a space. I am demonstrating how the use of bright colour can create maximum optical impact. I’m interested in pattern and repetition to create a visual aesthetic whilst whilst working...
