FORM/TRANSFORM
This work deals with the transformation of the everyday and the domestic. Due to their familiarity, domestic objects, such as furniture, are often overlooked, yet these objects are intrinsic to the formation of our modern environments. This work transforms the banality of domestic objects and proposes a new reading of domestic interior. The everyday is interpreted, broken down, re-contextualised and abstracted in the hopes of creating an entirely new object while still maintaining a sense of wary familiarity. The objects created are ambiguous in nature, appearing both familiar and alien at once, obscuring the boundaries between old and new, past and present, authentic and inauthentic. The work forces the viewer to take a momentary step back from what is known, intercepting the preconceived order and offering the viewer the potential for a new process of thought and interaction.
