Profile

I am concerned with finding beauty in and making use of death and discard. I’m intrigued by the components that make up a creature. When an animal dies, these parts loose their sense of function, and can then be studied and appreciated for their true aesthetics. Taxidermy, hunting trophies and the concept of the animal as a status and power symbol, is also at the root of my work. If bones, skulls, claws and hair are considered memento-mori, the pieces are not a simple reminder of death, but an alteration of it. I wish to create a selection of wearables influenced by these notions, vitalising past life fragments.
