‘This body of work analyses and explores the architecture and concept of the house and home. It manifests from language, theory and signage attained to its form. The intention being to present the relationship we build with and within the architecture of the house. My practice exists of small to medium scale, painted installations. It combines elements of both sculpture and painting’.
