My practice addresses classism, youth culture, forgotten places, and various masculinities. The work utilises takeaway containers and other 'low value' materials as a symbol of working class identity and sets them into a situation that questions architecture, construction, value, and skill. The status quo is questioned at its urban core - who are we building for? Presenting a precarity in its lightness, my sculpture mirrors the fragile futures we project.
