I’m driven by a fascination with repetitive actions and rituals.
My practice is site-responsive. I mostly exhibit multimedia installations. These combine sculpture, video, and sound.
The sculptures I make in the studio are primarily ceramic, textile, or paper-based. From there, I build installations that remain in flux, shaped by the sites they inhabit and the actions and events that take place within them.
Water runs through my practice as a material and a metaphor, present in clay, paper pulp, and textiles through washing and wringing. I also work with moving water in video and incorporate it into installations for its sonic and symbolic qualities: flow, movement, transformation. I’m interested in that sense of instability and change, and in letting the work develop its own life. In doing so,
I invite the viewer into that ongoing process.
For me, exhibiting work is less about presenting conclusions and more about continuing a process of inquiry. Because of this, my installations rarely exist in a fixed form. I also see their openness as an invitation for the viewer, creating space for discovery. Since I don’t strictly position my audience within an art context, I move between exhibition spaces and public or social environments.
A large part of my practice involves collecting everyday objects: buttons, ropes, coins, toys, dried food, leaves, chains, old ceramics. Which I combine with my sculptural work. I choose these objects carefully, based on the kind of experience I want to create.
A routine or action can be contained in an object; I use them symbolically within my installations as a way of embodying both my own and other people’s worlds.
This year, I am developing a research project focused on film and the documentation of repetitive actions. I film inside people’s homes, as well as myself in public spaces. Do you want to contribute? let me know!
