My earlier soft sculpture pieces explored themes of childish naivety while carrying a subtle and foreboding undertone. Despite their charming exteriors, they evoked unexpected twists and irony as the forms underwent a metamorphic transformation. In 'Bone Like This,' I delved into even darker themes, addressing concepts of death and mortality.

I employed an array of materials artfully collaged together to meticulously craft unique forms on a smaller scale. My fascination with the contrasting qualities of 'soft' and 'hard' remained a constant theme as I reflected on the cyclical nature of life: born soft – grow hard – die soft, meaning starting out soft, growing tough, and ultimately returning to softness in death.

Departing from my typical soft material aesthetic, I integrated my work with firm and rigid materials such as resin, glass, and perspex, all while retaining my distinctive sense of humour. I invited viewers to explore the dichotomies of 'hard' and 'soft,' 'heavy' and 'light,' 'serious' and 'witty' within my art.
