REINCARNATION
(2008-2009)
*Represented by Contemporary Applied Arts, London
Stirring coffee takes only a moment, but that small plastic stirrer will last for hundreds of years.
I have used the ‘lost wax’ casting technique to give discarded objects a new life. This process involves immersing wax models in plaster, burning out the wax, and then pouring molten metal into the resulting cavity. While this is a conventional method, I have replaced the wax with discarded objects: an egg box, a plastic spoon, a stirrer, a mouthwash bottle, an artificial flower, a polystyrene burger box, and a stack of baking cases. These objects are reincarnated in silver, rearranged, and given new purpose—ready to serve for breakfast.
Rubbish has been given another chance at life, transformed into something with material value that can be traded rather than thrown away, to be used by generations to come.

Classy Pen
(2007)
I never use the expensive pen that my father gave me; I love the lightness of plastic pens,
which I regularly use to sketch away my thoughts. New Shiny Silver Cap, snaps perfectly with an old plastic pen.
