[Attentiveness to the everyday is the subject of my work. I have consistently made art-work out of everyday objects and activities. The notion of the everyday is different for each individual and cultural context. Nevertheless, it refers in a broader sense, to the familiar, and yet often disregarded, space surrounding and occurring around us on a daily basis. The everyday is everywhere and nowhere: it is everywhere when one looks at something and sees it; it is nowhere when one looks but sees nothing.

My work as a whole explores the as-it-is-ness of things and interconnectedness between objects and people. I see everyday posted as an accumulation of threads that connect us together, which point to the possibility of mapping a heterogeneous, diversified and complex totality. Herein, the interactions lie between the elements of the everyday, accessible only by attentiveness and microscopy. I shuttle and probe the interstices between objects and people to bridge, sew and shed light on the invisible threads. The works are grouped into sculpture, interactive performance, and time based work as shown in this space. ]
