An Interventionists Way of Seeing.
Thinking about the impacts of the Covid pandemic, fearfully aware of the world’s uncertainties, darkness constantly looming over head, and technology invading our privacy, I step outside.
My art practice is like a treasure map that one might choose to follow, it whimsically opens unexpected doors, to unexpected places, playfully enabling the unexpected to emerge. It offers the city as material, a place of interpretation to re-imagine its possibilities. I walk, to highlight the urgency and temporality of our actions, to make sense of the world.
This work is important, its ephemeral, it sits sensitively on the earth, it too could be overlooked. It is cathartic, obsessive and satisfying. Damaged and discarded materials are rearranged, repurposed, and reconfigured. My work is unpredictable and often confusing, it is always made on site without relocating. Each intervention is playfully created with a sense of mischief, immediacy, and attention to detail. These performative interventions suggest movement, action and transformation, they hint at collapse and renewal, damage and repair.
I walk to address humanity, it’s all I can do.
