In my practice I create a site-specific intervention using a simple process and inexpensive materials; cellotape and carbon paper.  The space, walls and/or other surfaces determine the work created.   I modify the process to fit the space. 

The process is as follows; I remove strips of cellotape from a dispenser in a rhythmic and repetitive manner and adhere to carbon paper, I rip the cellotape from the carbon paper and place it directly onto an interior wall, surface or window. The process is repeated innumerable times which creates a large-scale installation.  

The remnants of the used carbon paper become a genuine non-predetermined, simultaneous by-product of the process.  Words and concepts that I associate with the remnants are stripped back, fragile, trace, time, patterns, archival and mark-making.

I video and live stream the performative act on social media in order to document the process.  I use the video footage to create a film to show my working process in situ.

Research into site-specificity and working in situ has led me to take my existing process and materials into public and private spaces.  In the latter part of the MA programme I developed my practice in these new areas.  I intend to continue investigating ‘my new studio’ in the real world.
