“The spaces that we inhabit and the traces that we inevitably leave are at the forefront of my practice. I think of human traces as subconscious drawings on our everyday surroundings, when we simply walk across a floor we leave our mark. Dust contains particles of our bodies and we leave some of it wherever we go, it is the ultimate human trace and is also an excellent medium for further traces. These indexical marks in the dust show the history of our movements, an alternative record of history.
“I use dust; tumble dryer fluff; hair; and human traces in my work, which is led by the materials and marks that I am attracted to, and the meanings found within them. Consequently I use a full range of media including drawing, painting, photography, video, sculpture and installation.”
