"Objects hang before the eyes of the imagination, continuously re-presenting ourselves to ourselves, and telling the story of our lives in ways which would be impossible otherwise."

- Susan Pearce

The absent human is an inherent narrative element of craft objects and I use craft processes as a vehicle to tell tales of the unknown. Assuming the role of a fraudulent anthropologist, I manipulate the pre-existing to create enigmatic artefacts which toy with our longing to believe in the fantastic. By subverting the authority of environment and the associative power of collection I confuse and construct narratives, evoking a conflict of animistic fears and desires.
