‘Houding’ found me working in my characteristic unconventional materials using repetitive processes. In this work I explored the notion of materials and permanence. While polystyrene is cheap and throwaway, it stands a good chance of outlasting the bronze works. The latter were cast from models I made out of polystyrene punnets which I fashioned into objects that recall the design of things such as treadplate and draincovers. I had produced the linocut the previous year and felt that its marking of time sat well with my current works.
