Building, Thinking - Dwelling
Dimensions Variable - Found wooden crates, screws
In Heidiggers essay 'Building Dwelling and Thinking' he stipulated that to dwell is to cultivate a relationship with your surrounding.
Large communal concourse type areas that often have no seating have become a
dumping ground for communal waste. I am interested in looking at how these spaces
can be re-activated, by using the detritus that is left in them. In a recent work I found two
discarded wooden pallets in a housing estate (which has recently had its benches
removed to discourage loitering). I made the crates into four chairs and a table before
returning them to the same spot where I found them. I think that it is interesting to use
materials and areas that have fallen out of the system of the city and to re-evaluate them to give them a value and position back into society.
Although I don’t specifically claim for these works to transform their context I think it is interesting to develop ideas of value and of ‘place’ to these nondescript, disrespected areas. My aim is to provide a construct whereby an organic relationship to the space can be prompted.

Subordinate to form
2011, Mixed media.
Images of the Barbican Center set into concrete, Plywood painted with 'Stone-effect' paint, and found objects.
Im interested in the chaos of materials and objects scattered around the streets. Solely existing in the periphery of our vision the street rubbish exist almost outside of the cultivated space of the city. By collecting unwanted objects is, in a way a survey and an attempt map of the area.
Perhaps by re-activating them though art they can be moved back into the system of the city and become celebrated.
