I am always drawn to the objects and spaces of daily life and the routine, comfort, and stability they represent to us. We can feel this through a familiar towel hung above the sink, the grooves in a countertop, or the smell of certain foods. Feeling comfort through familiarity and routine over years of engaging in specific activities is a universal human experience. We find comfort in their dependability. Yet at the same time, familiar things are often the ones that become overlooked and unnoticed. My work reawakens our senses to the everyday, transforming the mundane into something remarkable.
As a formality, I’m re-contextualizing familiar objects, entities and pieces of life in such a way so as to render no new entity except for our experience and understanding of such entities, thus creating a new thing. Perhaps in doing so we may learn how to practice re-contextualizing other things; other more complex and more important things.
