I explore in my art the connection and disconnection with the natural world. Inspired by the sublime, the urban landscape of London has become my area of research. I'm a mixed-media artist and a painter without paint.
I see the construction materials as the most significant disconnection between nature and myself; therefore I use them to make art about nature; I transform them into works which question the problems of our economy in relation to the environment. I use these materials again and again, trying to squeeze their possibilities and save them from obsolescence repeatedly. I also use natural-biodegradable materials ensuring that these works will never finish at a landfill and will continue the circle of life.
I explore the passage of time and obsolescence of what was useful and no longer is; contrasting temporalities of living beings to the material world we have built around us.
