Artist Statement
Urban Translation #2 is a series of works that examine the urban environment. Designed through an amalgamation of recycled materials, these works aim to re-establish the connections formed between a conservative state and one of refinement whilst also focusing on the aesthetics of geometry.
Desensitised to the world, it is the elements of line, shape, and form, which become visually recognisable within the urban landscape - fence, hedge, road, door and roof. Parallels to these constructs can be made throughout past and present works, which questions ideals of ones sense of place. How does the physical interaction with an urban environment change its cognitive perspective? And does one's relationships to a sense of place disrupt its sense of permanence?
