My work focuses on the close observation of the everyday. It delves into the repetitive patterns seen in our daily routines, finding pleasure in the mundane and minutiae that is overlooked and undervalued. 

​

I search for everyday objects and materials, exploring how these found items can be used and elevated in a contemporary art practice. By re-evaluating the object's common use and taking it away from its recognisable role I transform its persona elevating its status to create a new narrative.

​

My work is not controversial or provocative but nevertheless it is thought provoking and authentic and because it is based on the everyday items of our lives it is relatable and familiar. It highlights the fact that the ordinary has a place and it too should be given due consideration.
