Artist Statement
James J. Gibson’s  “affordance theory” states that objects have specific forms which are designed as “clues in the environment that indicate possibilities for action and are perceived in a direct, immediate way with no sensory processing”. Affordance brings with it a system of concerns given our precarious relationship to objects, technology and social media. My work aims to problematize perceptions of affordance within our relationship to objects, materials and spaces, while opening up new possibilities for alternatives to this increasingly volatile modern syntax.
