Architecture

Architecture, 2016-22

My recent work is inspired by architectural blueprints, industrial buildings, and the photography of Bernd and Hilla Becher. Their focus on the stark beauty of functional structures influences how I approach composition, where I focus on the structural qualities and purpose of the buildings I explore.The materials and processes I choose are key to my practice. Spent engine oil, for example, symbolises the hard work and effort involved in building—reflecting the "elbow grease" and labour of the worker.
