Artist Statement

A, R and B are large format drawings that materialise structurally in; found wood, screws, and bolts. These containers/environments contemplate Platonic Theory of Form in their assemblage as lines of suggestion. Ambivalence is a trait of the set seen through methods of construction and within their negotiation of the surrounding space. This inquires into both contradiction and paradox through the personification of space, or the pursuit of such. Informed by the architectural folly, these drawings situate themselves on a line between inside and outside that demonstrates the possibility of strength in precarity or perhaps the precarity in strength.
