The repair and transformation of broken objects found on ebay and in charity shops is a strong element within my practice. For some time I've been collecting broken figurines and "repairing" them, exaggerating the breaks, thereby distorting the figures and coupling them with seemingly opposing elements. Below and above are examples of this new work shown for the first time at this year's Open Studios at Rogue.
