Pop Killed Culture: my practice uses textile relief sculptures to examine the relationship of the individual to society and the reciprocity of that relationship. Using exaggerated scale and familiar symbols borrowed from current and archaic histories these reliefs are designed to contrast a society that is increasingly online and mediated by screens. Familiar imagery fosters gentle moments between the audience and the reliefs to confront the plurality of historical experiences. My core philosophical impetus is that to build a more reciprocal society, we need more pathways to facilitate connection and context in challenging moments in history: Soft Objects for Hard Times.
