| I am interested in creating
situations for the act of transformation of the everyday. By working
on mundane objects I try to reappropriate the fixedness of the thing,
through investing imagination into other uses of the materials comprising
this thing.
It is with this process in mind that I approach
an interrogation of established practice of ownership and appropriation,
manifest in the idea of the public collection.
Projects I have undertaken include a self-initiated
residency in south Leeds with a focus on reclaiming negative images
in the press: and working under and developing the structure of
an art prize, through collaborations with international practitioners
and 17 other emerging artists based in the North of England.
