Through many different methods and ideas, I pursue composition as a main inquiry. Using found and bought materials/objects in intuitively constructed installations that explore the relationship and blur the line between drawing and sculpture. These methods include large scale drawings that almost become collages due to the sculptural elements involved like tape and wood. This is how they seem to have conversations with the sculptures they accompany. I am inspired by urban and architectural scenarios in the world that demand my attention based on form and composition.

Using mainly muted or industrial colours in my installations, I aim to contrast this with very small amounts of powerfully vibrant colours. Things like rhythm, repetition, and space amongst others are the principles of composition that I focus on when producing work recently.

In this project I am aiming to encapsulate all of my recent research areas and processes into an installation that also acknowledges and incorporates the architecture it inhabits. It toys with the relationship between the space and the work whilst facilitating a sense of spatial logic for the viewer.
