I am currently producing installations from the spreading, sweeping and piling of fine pigments and powders. The matter that I use is of a consistent texture and density, rarely infiltrated with alien particles or objects.

The floor and exposed surfaces within my studio, have been subjected to a build-up of these dust particles that come from different sources. These have ranged from plaster powder, sand, ash, powder paint pigments and charcoal to name a few. The particles have clung into the cracks in the concrete floor, have gripped to the uneven texture of the dividing walls and heaped up against stationary objects.

By using a broom to push powders and pigments around a room, I have aimed to produce a series of temporary, flat sculptures. I have guided the broom through sequential, linear formations to create work based around simple geometric form. I have been building up regular bodies of line with the intention of creating a whole. I hope to produce works that focus on form and material, considering the transitory nature of the dust.
