about me

My practice pertains to relation dynamics. It manifests as a series of constructed contexts and ephemeral experiences that many might deem to be yet another instance of art world bullshit. To me, they are sociological experiments which reconfigure people, spaces, rules and dynamics as a means to temporarily suspend reference to our default behavioural settings, or detach our conduct from predictable contexts.

My work occurs through the imposition of absurd rules or constraints, recontextualising familiar scenarios, or initiating my own contexts that reference, yet skew reality. Within these microcosms, including a fake funeral, silent party and contractual invitations to cross a line, participants confront the delicate tensions between vulnerability and control, exposure and invisibility, and intimacy and detachment that underlie our daily exchanges. By veering from our prescribed behaviour, my practice probes at how identities are constructed, manipulated and preserved by the standard choreography of social expectation and etiquette.

Through these relational mechanisms, my artworks investigate the human condition: a peculiar, often amusing, sometimes disheartening, and largely endearing concept, constructed and contorted by networks of customs, social codes and conventions of behaviour that are as compelling as they are invisible. I offer no conclusive answers, but rather act as a mirror: a way to observe others observing themselves that reflects back how we construct and maintain the fragile apparatus of self.
