My work references memory and nostalgia. I am questioning and re-evaluating the place of handcrafts in a mass-produced consumer society by recycling hand-made items that evoke both a shared memory and common history. This project is located in the nature of collecting and fantasy with focus on domestic items. It is based upon the psychology of the collector and will examine and reflect various discarded objects that I have collected, exploring ways of transforming them into different contexts that convey various moods, sometimes playful and sometimes unsettling.
