About the work
My public works often employ the language of self-help or self-improvement, treading the line between what is affirmative in tone and that which borders on authoritarian. In the last year, in an ongoing series of works on paper, I have been exploring the language of the more destructive aspect of self-improvement. These wilfully negative texts embody that which has been present yet unsaid in my practice for many years. The works themselves are made through a process of distressing and erasure, forming a counter to the largely digital techniques that I use to produce my large-scale public works.
