My practice has always sought to re-think traditional approaches to mark-making and sculpture; in previous bodies of work, I have used pyrotechnic fuse wire to “draw” with, depicting light and dark within varying compositions.
The genesis of my most recent body of works represents an investigation into the deconstruction of life drawing and figurative sculpture using the collection and extraction of medical data, and the processes of 3D scanning and printing. I am particularly driven by process, constantly exploring new media and techniques throughout my practice and through emerging technologies, reinterpreting the make-up of my subjects, recording and re-presenting their unique physiology. I aim to capture not simply a likeness, but the true physical nature of a sitter and expose their ultimate fragility. The resultant works are an allegorical representation of life’s delicate, transient nature.
In 2015, I was selected as one of the recipients of the ‘Wellcome Image Award’ for my sculptural piece, ‘Lungs inside a Ribcage’, which was made in response to the illness of a close friend.
