Artist Statement


Taking inspiration from festival costume and culture my work is versatile and can adapt to many different situations and contexts which I have explored throughout my practice. Whilst they are designed and made to be worn within the festival scene, my ‘Spectacles’ can stand alone in their own right as performers, however, take them out of the gallery space and they will reach their full potential as otherworldly and alien pieces of craft. Being within the fantastical world of festival culture will transform them by amplifying their personalities and will heighten the air of spontaneity. With spectacle there is no distinction between performer and audience, and with my own work I hope to encourage audience interaction in a playful and humorous way.
