I am interested in the rituals we employ in order to manage and create spaces and systems, and how we self-preserve through preserving the things around us. I make works that talk about the body and its habitat: the conditions of being, for being. For me these conditions or boundaries are always physical, virtual, administrative and contested. I ask myself how can ideas of care, management or affect be extended or imbued into a sculptural form? In this way the works are always somehow figurative.
