| Description |
I am a sculptor who works with materials, an object maker concerned with both physical and conceptual process. A critical part of my method of working is to allow a record of this process to exist in the finished sculptures. Perhaps the most difficult and rewarding part of my graduate experience is learning to give up a certain amount of control and allow the work to evolve. In contemporary society most things are anufactured using technically advanced automated machinery. Making objects using tools and methods in a process oriented, hands on manner is considered a traditional way of working. I choose to continue working traditionally because I find satisfaction in transforming materials into objects that exist in a physically based visual language. Each sculpture created for the thesis exhibition has been exposed to various situations and processes, in order to explore and observe how' the sculpture is affected by its environment. |
