I explore the agency of matter by investigating boundaries, systems, and performative actions.  Increasingly, I work with the remnants of my daily existence to contemplate time through the intricate interdependence of things animate and inanimate. Many factors enable material to come into being and enter our reality. How does the time it takes for bees to make beeswax correlate to the time it takes for a candle to burn? The size and shape of a pistachio is determined by a whole range of circumstances coming together.  Its shell represents a measurement of different conceptions of time.

The decisions I make rely upon shared agency. Careful negotiation occurs between the rules and systems that belong to things and those I create. Whilst I seek to acquire an intimate understanding of matter, I enjoy that it, nevertheless, eludes us. These points of resistance at the boundaries of possibility often lead to unanticipated lines of enquiry.

By implementing a single activity or set of repetitive performances, I seek to direct attention to barely perceptible change. While certain actions are embodied and discernible within the material, others remain more reticent. The correlation between the private performance, its observation, and the presentation of an outcome can be ambiguous. The temporal and sometimes precarious manifestation of this process can be vulnerable in its emergence.

I am interested in the anticipation created by the potential for the work to change, collapse, or become unstable and the interplay between chance and intention. The experience of a particular moment within the work is an invitation to imagine that which escapes measurement or perception. The observable is merely a small part of what occurs.
