Working with unwanted everyday objects, my work explores how we might reuse more and throw away less. With great care, I dismantle them, unravelling their histories and exposing the raw essence of their constituent parts, which then serve as the basis of my work. The laborious processes inherent in my approach, steeped in repetition, renewal and meditative rhythm, evoke echoes of domesticity, the value of labour, and timeless rituals of craftsmanship such as the techniques of steam bending and kerfing. Within this labour lies a subversive narrative, a critique of the prevailing ethos of overconsumption and to disrupt the inertia of throwaway culture.
