are set up through the introduction of found materials within the
work, and the way the work is presented. As personal
associations are projected onto these standardised, mass-
produced objects, they became alive, as sites of symbolic
exchange. Out of this representation of obsolescence and
nostalgia, he uses the language of the monumental to create
artworks where memory and the present collide. The works
coalesces around certain themes of loss and a domestic disquiet.
There is often a sense of displacement, narratives are either
imagined or remembered, and the body remains an absent
presence.
