Primarily working with rustic materials and industrial-based chemical reactions, my work explores materiality, autonomy of the medium and aleatoric aesthetics.
About
Through a collaborative practice, between the materials and myself, the work embraces the unseen nature of materials and object-oriented ontology. By utilizing the innate properties of the medium to create unexpected colours and textures, the viewer can see the material in a new perspective. Through creating a printing process that uses rust, as opposed to ink, the oxidized marks made by the metal surface transcend the process into a new context. The rust on the paper is no longer a corrosive contamination, and is instead appreciated for its aesthetic qualities. My work aims to present the medium by embracing its innate properties, renovating its context and allowing its’ independent nature to dictate the outcome.
