“For a long as I can remember I have been interested in pillboxes and bunkers, the kind of wartime structures that were cast in concrete only to be discarded upon landscapes that later drastically changed. As objects totally divorced from their original context, they have always possessed a sense of mystery.
The Vaults series takes this early fascination as a starting point and mixes it with a later interest in Brutalist architecture.
They are intended as objects of ambiguity, for which purpose and intention are purposefully left void.
They are constructed using bespoke moulds made from plastic card. The structure is created in reverse, both upside down and in negative. The plastic mould allows for a very smooth finish, where the only features present are those that have been deliberately placed.”
