When you walk down a busy street or travel on a squashed tube, you can learn a lot about how an environment creates a certain kind of social conditioning. I often feel cities are built to function but do not necessarily accommodate our psychological anxieties. My work attempts to provoke, alleviate or highlight those anxieties. I reuse everyday objects, creating new functions for them that are more emotionally rather than functionally led, such as a plaster to stop someone talking so much, or a loudspeaker that you can scream into in a busy street, or a traffic light that a person carries to stop weary people in the street.
