Art
Look, just pretend there’s a fantastically interesting artists’ statement here.
I do have one but it’s so ‘art school’ that I’m not using it any more because it makes me curl up with embarrassment.
If you have any great ideas about what I should say in the new one, I’d sure as hell love to hear them. Because so far all I’ve got is:
Blah blah obsession. Blah blah ritual. Blah blah small everyday objects…
Impressive, isn’t it.

I do have lots of art though. If you click on the pictures you’ll see loads more pictures in that gallery.
The Pin Series is an ongoing collection of sculptures, performances and drawings that use dressmaking pins to explore issues of repetition, obsession, the meaning of domestic labour and the power of ritualised mark-making.
‘3 Score & 10’ is a sculpture made from 70 lengths of strings, each containing 365 hand-tied knots. Altogether the work contains 25,568 knots – the exact number of days (including leap years) that you’d live if you reached your biblical 70 years.
The Requiem Series was based on the events of September 11th. In order to try and understand the loss of life, I burnt 3,533 matches, the estimated death toll when I began the work in December 2001.
Every day in 2007 I drew on an envelope and placed something secret inside. I then posted the envelope to myself before my midnight deadline. When the envelopes returned, they were scanned and blogged.
Further examples of my work can be found on my Flickr pages and some of my work is available to buy.
