Artist Statement



Data is all around us but, because it’s not visual,
it’s not immediately appealing to most people.

My work explores the many unusual ways that data can be represented, why does a bar chart have to be kept in the confines of a piece of paper? Generating my own data from mundane and boring activities I elevate the status of the information to something much more important than it actually is. Monitoring things such as how often I use my mobile phone something that I seem to be unable to function without; collecting the data live from my own mobile and recording it on other devices to be collected at a later date. To anxiety induced behaviour like clicking my fingernails nails together; meticulously timed and dated up to every second. Using abnormal materials such as balloons, cheesecake and mobile phones to express this collected information. Continuing where artists such as Ellie Harrison and Lucy Kimbell left off I have furthered the idea of gathering large masses of data and conveying it in unusual ways.
