Initial thoughts about my practice.
Materials key - allow them to speak for themselves
Favourite materials to work with; latex, wax, plaster - all start off liquid then solidify
Work relatively small scale - often dependent on the materials I have to hand rather than a conscious decision
Multiples/series/repetition - Repetition has been a common technique, taking one form I make mass
multiples, upon first inspection they appear to all be identical. Though under
closer inspection it becomes apparent that they are all different, each cast is
reiterated with slight alterations, some natural defects of the casting process
and some intentional.
Presentation is key with multiples, they began
life as a series of trinkets, almost fetish like, putting them into and order
or composition turns them into sculptures in their own right.
Very little colour used in my work - generally monochrome or coloured added as an afterthought
