THE BROOM CUPBOARD
My current practice follows two distinct paths.
Sculpture and drawings for exhibition. Primarily carved in stone, this takes the form of a natural history collection called the Broom Cupboard, in which I take the role of curator & anatomical sculptor and illustrator, in compiling a collection of misfiled specimens from the history of natural history.
The particular focus of my work is in indeterminacy (from a philosophical and semiotic point of view) and areas where material evidence, language and narrative become confused or contradictory.
