My work appears at first glance to be a playful reference to the functionless - each piece a flamboyant procession of splendour and excess, mere celebrations of the lovely, nice and pretty. Yet aside from visual effect, such objects provide creative ground to consider our need for escapism in our everyday lives.

The featured sculpture comprises of brass ornaments assembled in reference to pre-industrial ornamentation. It plays with perceptions of the world and the state of things as they truly exist. Through a lack of interest in the confines of reality it defies so many of its facets like scale, weight, gravity and rules of nature, depicting a life harmonious and utopian.
