Main Body:

This has become a speculative practice of seeking out, and remodelling estranged parts of tired machines and appliances, left lost or dumped. New mechanical shapes are reverse-engineered into aged and dirty structures, displaying a sense of manmade false functionality. Industrially designed objects become sculpture’s with a luminescent operational possibility, like a device left on standby. Layerings of dust, graphite, spray paint, and oils become the entropic surfaces of paintings, on weird found items and walls. Photography turns these material forms into beacons of light, colour, and texture. Remains or cast-offs from obsolete environments become something new again. A fictionalisation of existing objects allude to new forms with a sense of human interaction and material potentiality. These things are found in the landscape of a second-hand industry, on the gritty and oil-perspiring soil of the scrapyard, landfill, or pavement. They are from the present (as remnants of a recent past) yet seem to become objects of the future.
