Artist Statement
I investigate the function and value of objects in general. I'm interested in objects, their individual value and how we attribute a narrative to them. The symbolic value attributed to objects resonates through my choices of photographic and sculptural subject matter. I work with poles of contradiction and the idea that one pole doesn't exist without the other. It exists only when the opposite defines it. In order to discuss how our contemporary society fails to appreciate the environment or understand cultural differences my work dissects the complexity of value both individual, cultural and commercial. Questioning who dictates this value by breaking the boundaries of fixed states and placing fragments of narratives in a new context creates yet another possibility of truth.
