“I guess the truth is I simply like junk” John Steinbeck
My work is inspired by the ephemera I collect and that found in museum collections. I am drawn to objects which have a visual history, marks of a previous owner or a suggestion of use. My current body of work is primarily concerned with ambiguity, through my work I hope to raise the question ‘What is it?’ by combining aspects of my collections. I aim to create work which will inspire in people the same curiosity that I feel when I come across the objects I collect. The pieces in this collection are non functional yet aspire to the aesthetic of functional objects hopefully evoking a sense of familiarity.
