Artist Statement

My main subject area for a while has been exploring the human and non-human relationship. Through two years of working with that theme, I have looked into the concept of an unspoken companionship that our pets provide us with and how we depend on each other in our everyday lives.  I have also looked into what could be going on in our companion's heads while we away and comparing it to the times of us being together. Most recently my work has been concentrating on using an animal as a representation of humans in our daily routines however, I am currently looking to produce work that questions the love and affection we receive from our pets, does the attention they give us mean that they love us?
