My sculpture and installation explore architecture and the monumental; ruins of buildings, void spaces interwoven with the fast changing rising concrete landscape and urban geology. I am conscious of the afterlife of a material and its effect on the environment. In response to the anthropocene I imagine what future synthetic sediment is being created with plastic, toxic chemicals, domestic and construction site waste. As these synthetic materials are absorbed into the ground, buried and eroded over time, layers of landfill, heavy metals and toxins disrupt natural ecosystems.
