Statement
My practice critiques the language of consumer culture. The process of how constructs, hierarchies and classifications work together to legitimatize and produce meaning. I’m interested in how society uses the notion of freedom and how popular culture positions the self and how the self wants to be positioned.

Within in my work I use and manipulate consumer symbols from celebrities such as President Bush to Hitler to banal everyday objects such as pens, nurofen tablets and tin foil shaped like shit. I want to use the process of transgression to deconstruct these symbols and play with the construct of freedom that is offered in our culture as an act of control.
