My works are hybrid concept spaces that deal with social hierarchies and the way we portray ourselves in our consumerist society through the decoration of interior space. The work is a conversation between highbrow and lowbrow aesthetics.

Horror vacui; the fear of spatial voids and amor vacui; the love of empty space are opposing methods utilised aesthetically in my work, drawing attention to the ways in which we feel the need to embellish and fill space.

In a class of its own seeks to challenge the way that style and taste can be seen as representative of status within a capitalist, social hierarchy.
