The act of transformation is a major impulse within my practice, assessing systems of destruction and deconstruction in relation to transformation and regeneration in both a formal and conceptual sense. Centring on issues of the abject body, works regenerate materials from a personal or domestic origin to integrate into the physicality of a space and affect its disposition. Endeavouring to speak of loss and nostalgia as against materialism. I hope for works to be redemptive, to regain what is personally lost, and to renew.

My objective for [VSF]II is to create a private and enclosed environment in a once very public space. By blocking out the windows and the entrance to the back room I plan to create a detached, muted central space that exists between protection and a somewhat unsettling situation. The concealment will be formed using an assemblage of discarded household furniture and belongings found abandoned on tenement streets in and around Glasgow.
