Upside Down Boots

My projects are aimed for people who want to transgress through extreme experiences by exposing and celebrating the border between the physical and psychological. I believe that when the self is under threat, physically or psychologically, we revert to basic, insinctual human behaviour.

What I am questioning is social conditioning because society is not allowing for natural behaviour and therefore creates an anxious society. The motives for my work are psychological and philosophical interests in the human condition. One question the work asks is whether design can take part in eliminating conditioning and help us live more naturally as human beings.

This results in designs that offer alternative spaces for behaviour, thought and perception; a collection of strange objects set within a very normal environment, where, through the (imaginative) use of the object the user¹s perception becomes altered.

They aim to question our everyday relationship with products and exist as objects with narrative structure informing their creation. They are products which can fit in a wide range of contexts from galleries and films to real domestic situations.
