Hand worked stainless steel and aluminium mesh sculptures highlight gesture, posture and being at the boundaries of human and non- human form.
Merging the spirit of living things with forms inspired by built and natural habitats, the artist uses mesh and found objects to highlight the shared fragility of individuals, society and the environment, building a bridge towards empathy for ‘the other’ .
Sono-visual inspired by recorded sound of high winds in the trees.
Taking its form from sea shells, bandshells, concert halls and cats’ inner ear, the piece celebrates the emergence of one’s own voice.
A study of scale, context and domestic objects exploring perception and emotional landscapes.
Using scale and perspective, the artist creates hyper-real, imaginary indoor landscapes derived from sublimated aspects of our private environments.
The result is saturated dreamscapes that hint at a domesticity simultaneously personal and universal, familiar but also unsettling. Out of focus and divorced from context, they invite us to co-imagine what lays beyond the landscape's view.
Domestic objects and environments shape and contextualise our private world. The artist seeks to reveal the power of these settings and their relationship to the realms of nature and society.
Behind Closed Doors is a meditation on liminality and the inextricable links between inner and outer landscapes, interior and exterior worlds.
It takes the forgotten spaces in our homes — where walls, floors and furniture meet, as a starting point for exploring interiority.
These fantasy landscapes encourage a detached view of an interior space - and our interior lives, in the same way one might survey a panorama of land stretching to the far horizon. In these interior landscapes we can become momentarily untethered and free to roam the timeless space we inhabit between reality and dreams.

The piece connects the dark night of the sky with the dark night of the soul and locates them in an imaginary middle-space that could be a possible past and might be a possible future.

VIDEO: POLITUS (Refined) : What we choose to remember
Tyler Moorehead, 2019. Running time 11:09
Politus is a performative exploration of respectability, aspiration and class, through domestic artefact.
The artist uses items to hand to reflect on the symbols of refinement cherished by her mother. In the process of memorialising one symbol of respectability, she defiles another.
Politus was installed at Tate Modern ‘Art on Air’ as a response to Kara Walker’s Fons Americanus in the adjacent Turbine Hall. The piece takes its name from Walker’s insight ‘what we choose to remember’.
The silent piece uses the shadow of cut crystal glasses as a symbol to explore patterns of achievement, acceptability and assimilation among the black middle classes.
Seeking to acknowledge her elders, whilst denying the power of these cultural expectations over her own life, the artist memorialises the image of crystal glasses on a fine linen tablecloth as a symbol of belonging.
