"A terrain, a defined area with its own physical characteristics, an arrangement of elements, dust and stones, pieces of plastic and random artefacts, a place without guidelines. I see these environments again and again when I walk the streets of New York. Chaos and density, textures, intermingling substances, parts, sights of familiarity and ambiguity at the same time. Forms and affordances.
My way of working is reactive - I observe, document and collect. In search of moments and patterns from which I can draw. In this act of displacement, I take things out of their "natural" environment - the documentation of spaces is framed from my perspective and thus taken out of context. Parts and materials that I collect are disassembled and reassembled in relation to materials from other places. I use forms that imply a utilitarian purpose and suggest events or ritual. The sandbox is a liminal environment, a poetic reference to play and the sublime. Piece by piece I build a place, a new terrain with multiple locations and interactions at once."
