Style

Many of her works consist of pieces of MDF, Paper and over such "everyday objects" attached to the walls of the gallary space with simple fixings such as Bolts and washers. Of her style she has said that “I like the idea that the uncomplicated has a purpose: that the material does not give a sculpture its value, it is the artist that does'."[2]
