artist statement
By combining many of my learnt skills and materials, I want to continue focusing on medium specificity. I want to extend my research into the work of theorist Clement Greenberg, who continues to inspire me. I want to use material's in their rawest form allowing them to speak for themselves as a form of painting or sculpture. I aim to reveal the intrinsic beauty of my materials by exploring the materiality of architecture. I want to work using industrial materials in their natural state, and venture into industrial processes. I want this to be an honest and genuine portrayal of the materials, I don't want to 'fake' effects. I hope to push the limits of this medium, and allow the materials to hold as significant a place as myself (or any context) in my work. I view these pieces as 'flat sculptures'.
