Neglected Space forms a structure for my work. Part of my practice is collecting ordinarily discarded objects, and their accumulation makes them primary building material. Having trained as an architect and as an artist, my installations and objects are grounded within existing architectural theory and vocabulary, yet seek to challenge the boundaries of formal practice. Most pieces are determined by their site and are supported by traditional architecture and materials. Together they produce a kind of absurd space. Through my work I seek to question the usual order and dominance inherent in our ordinary built environment.
