Precious Things, an assemblage of floor and wall based, primarily readymade objects or things, combines two methods of my practice, materially cataloguing on studio wall/s and storing materials until the right opportunity.
I collect objects/things which many would see as redundant, and by assembling (or connecting or ordering) them in Precious Things, each object/thing which individually speak or correspond with my concerns, the affective qualities of the process of transformation (and where thoughts are gathered through them), are given new life.
