About Object Art
The curation of found and collected objects
Beauty can be found in the most common and familiar things. I gather found and collected objects, before curating, composing, assembling, altering and crafting these into bespoke boxes. As a result of this process, these ordinary, everyday artefacts are transformed into a rich and textural whole.
The final box becomes a culmination of many different small elements, often juxtaposing natural and man-made artefacts. The final artwork can be examined piece by piece, whereby each individual element has its own story, significance, value and personality. Alternatively, it can be appreciated as a whole greater than the sum of its parts - an artwork which brings together individual stories into a complex and considered composition.
My work aims to provide a personal narrative and an in-depth analysis of a place, person or memory.
About Me
I have always been a collector of items: stones and shells from the beach, local handicrafts from holidays abroad, pretty and colourful objects. This passion has developed into curating these items as a unique way to explore and document a subject visually.
As well as producing object art, I am a practising architect in South Wales. I studied architecture at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University between 2008 and 2015. I achieved a First Class Honours at BSc level in 2011, a Masters of Architecture in 2013 and gained my Professional Diploma in 2015. In 2012, my work won the Architectural Scholarship in the National Eisteddfod of Wales, which included my first piece of object art.
If you are interested in any of the pieces shown, or would like to commission a new, personalised piece, please do not hesitate to get in touch (details on the contact page).
