Artwork notes

Artist-wide context

An unexpected material can make an ordinary object feel strange, intimate or uncomfortable.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Ordinary objects change when an unexpected material covers or joins them.

Marks and structure

Biomorphic outlines and unusual combinations make familiar things uncertain.

Palette and light

Texture and bodily associations can matter as much as hue.
