Forest Dump, 2017
Wood, found objects and faux fur
2400 x 1200 mm
Forest Dump (2017) is an amalgamation of dismantled furniture and a collection of twenty-eight children’s chairs. The use of wooden furniture and chairs provides a link from Indonesia to the Western world, making the normally distant content of this project accessible to the audience. Furniture is manufactured from the same materials accumulated from deforestation. The faux fur chairs represents the 28 primate species in Indonesia that are threatened through loss of habitat.
The precarious construction of the tree represents a band-aid solution to a problem that can be challenging to fathom. This difficult issue is made accessible through humour, by subverting the deeper meaning with a comical flair, and hoping to make the audience reconsider the wider meaning of the work through guilt.

From improvised shields decorated with the front covers of books, to a mosaic-tiled pickup truck, August’s Friday Late took inspiration from the V&A’s Disobedient Objects exhibition. Visitors joined us for the night to explore the arts of social rebellion and strategies for change.
Io is the solar systems most active volcanic object. Earth is it's only volcanic rival. The highly elliptical orbit around Jupiter compresses the moon's surface. Extremely high voltage runs through the small moon [400,000 volts] as it passes through Jupiter's powerful magnetic field. We could not land on it's surface. ( we'd be toast, literally) We can visit through our imagination. Similar in size to our own moon, Io has a similar distance from Jupiter. (262,000 miles)
'Objetos del Pasado' or Objects from the Past. This installation formed part of the first event in the series 'Espacios Sensibles' or Sensible Spaces, at the Colegio de Arquitectos in Santander Spain. It was built with the colaboration of Maria Jesús Cueto of the University of Bilbao, her students and a number of people who donated or lent objects relating to their past. These objects were each suspended in a plastic bag and connected to the earth and the present with a red string. January 2013
