In TRANS/FORM, I continue my practice of dismantling and reassembling found objects, focusing on the tension between familiarity and reconstruction.
Two works begin as timber rocking horses—one reconfigured as Pegasus, the other transformed into Fire Horse. Once playful and recognisable, their components are taken apart, laid bare, and restructured into new identities that sit somewhere between figure and abstraction.
In other works, I use salvaged timber, painted fragments and domestic remnants to construct tightly balanced, wall-based assemblages.
In Reform and Tableaux, architectural grids, rulers and boxed compartments suggest order and measurement, while subtle shifts in colour and alignment disrupt that symmetry.
In Shifting Light, folded yellow planes radiate across a circular ground, creating movement through repetition and rotation.
Across the exhibition, forms are not erased but reorganised. Surfaces retain chipped paint, drilled holes and worn edges—evidence of previous lives that remain visible within the new structure.
Transformation here is neither theatrical nor complete; it is incremental, physical and unresolved.
