Statement 2009/10: 

In a series of Interventions, Installations and social commentary spread over the course of two years and two International visits (Sinai, Egypt and Linz, Austria); 'Death Becomes Her' exists as a meditation on the emergent growth of fecundity at a point of arid existence. Borne from a discussion surrounding mortality, memorial and regeneration and developing into 2010 with an International research retreat, my work is currently concerned with the ultimate of consuming forces that commands and construes our life - the birth that follows death.

DEATH BECOMES HER 

No matter how much I...

...'anything'

I can't bring her back.

 

She's not a cadaver.

Our union cannot wither.

She's not the marble I kissed that day.

 

...but something's altered, irrevocably.

A glitch, a fault, the truth.

Cold, stark, hard.

 

I loved her so

I love her so

The fullest of 'stops'

 

It will happen to every last one

Of you

Us

 

Borne from death

The ultimate birth

The pre-determined course
