As an artist and designer my work is concerned with issues surrounding production in relation to materials and people. Designs intimacy offers a critical space to address our everyday material relations and the politics of the processes these engage. My relationship with materials as a designer are integral to the philosophy of how I work and what I make; in attempting to bridge the disconnect between material providence, human labour and eventual consumption. The work rejects the hyper speeds of post-capitalist consumption, in favour of prioritising sustainable practices and accountable processes. I regularly put myself through long arduous processes of traditional craft making and have found myself meticulously mapping routes and stories surrounding ancient production. The demise in dedication to process and the rise of brand identity spells a damaging break which will only be further criticized as we move forward into more advanced material futures. My own work both brings these issues to light and presents solutions.
