Artist Statement
I frequently make work about the relationships humans have with animals, however recently I have begin to question the experiences that they share. Mass migration, displacement and urbanisation are familiarities which are impacting how we share this world and where we stand in it. I have fused the human and bird form to equalise venerability and have removed agency and ability by taking away limbs. They stand still in time considering the uncertainty which the future offers.
