My work examines processes of spatial ruination. I explore the histories, marketing, and experience navigating defunct or transformed infrastructure. My practice critically examines narratives of linear progress, planning ideologies, and dichotomised understandings of the built environment and the natural landscape. It involves cyclical processes of responding to places through gathering, making, drawing, installing, and documentation. I create objects and structures of plaster, steel, found objects, and ceramics. These act as models, parts of construction, and fragments or ruins of spaces. The work is installed in response to its environment through makeshift assembly, in a way that plays with weight, balance and precarity.
