I use hand-made techniques while also retaining a slick pop aesthetic. I also combine feminine and masculine attributes within my work. Fairytales, folklore, classical literature and mythology fuel my practice. My work emits a feel-good factor with the core elements of a B-movie.
The physicality that film doesn't have is brought to life by coupling with sculptural objects. Film and sculpture share and reciprocate, creating something that has moved beyond the object as a sculptural form.
