STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to ascertain the potential contemporary identities of \u201cArt\u201d and myself as an \u201cArtist\u201d, I make work which considers their basic components, elements, constituents, materials. I do this by way of studying the potential objective and subjective identities of the appropriated materials I employ within my practice. In other words, I explore the physical and conceptual history of art by exploring the materials\u2019 own historic physicality; thereby considering the experiential qualities of an artist\u2019s \u201cmaking\u201d process. Most recently I have been very self-consciously aware of the role of the material, in the logic of how they behave or how they induct me to behave with them.<\/p>\n

The forms of the found figures fundamentally inform my fickle, formal and formulaic frivolities.<\/p>\n

I work mainly with sculptural installation but I use drawing and collage as a fundamental coincidence occurring throughout my creative process. I see my work as three-dimensional collage as it relies on the careful cutting up and empathetic piecing together of a manifestation of remnants picked up, produced, and placed–\u201cArt\u201d objects and \u201cNot Art\u201d objects–Catechizing on us the differences and similarities between them.<\/p>\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am 21 years old and am a Visual Artist based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Currently I am in my fourth year studying a BA honours degree in Fine and Applied Art [Sculpture, Video, Time, Performance\/Photography] at the University of Ulster, Belfast. As well as exhibiting works frequently within the university campus, I have shown work in Catalyst Arts Gallery, Belfast, as part of the “Haphazard” student group show in 2011. Outside of my practice, I am currently a contributor (writer, reviewer) to Visual Belfast<\/em>, a new art journal made by students who attend the art college. I have also volunteered as staff for many art organizations within Belfast, such as PS2 Gallery in 2010.<\/p>\n
