I create sculptures by combining objects with seemingly human or animal legs. By doing this, I investigate the meanings associated to those particular objects and invite the viewer to reconsider them. Absurdity and ridiculousness are recurrent elements in my artwork.
The addition of legs is intended as a new evolutionary step in the life of the objects in the same way as the first sea creatures were able to move on land when they grew legs for the first time three hundred and seventy-five million years ago. With the development of newly grown legs, objects are now able to move independently and come back to us in a new form.
The variety of objects that can be used to create these pieces is very broad; from food packaging to birdcages, from vintage diver's helmets to meat mincers - the list is endless. The choice of objects used to create my sculptures reflects my interest in investigating the way we interact with each other and with the environment we live in. Mass-production and exploitation are some or the topics that my sculptures explore.
