What made you decide to work in your chosen field?

During my time as a student at Middlesex University, I was introduced to plastics. The array of colour was instantly attractive and rich in potential, and I began experimenting, to discover the limits of the material.

Why are you drawn to plastic?

It's throwaway, so it's not considered precious - and there's something liberating about working with a material you can sample endlessly.

What's the process of creation?

The process of laminating, forming and carving coloured, mirrored and clear acrylics is motivated by a desire to control not only the weight of the material, but the tonal range. Acrylic's stock colours are fairly diverse, but I still find them rigid and insensitive in their inanimate man-made sheet form. After my early forays, I discovered subtler colour palettes, removing the material from its industrial context - and I also developed a sense for three-dimensional colour.
