My most recent research has been based around the vulnerability and the temporary nature of things. I often use architectural forms in my work as it represents, for me, the most poignant example of transience; man’s attempt to create permanence and legacy through building. I am also interested in the way that architecture can act as a metaphor for our internal selves (the body as a building that houses the mind) and with the enduring sense of memory and/or personal identity that is often embedded into or linked with particular sites.
