‘This presentation of sculpture and two-dimensional works are grouped to infer a simulated reality and to examine our preoccupation with replacing nature with fabricated versions of itself. The garden, as an example, is complete with natural components, but by definition is a construction made for our own pleasure and consumption. 
In re-producing nature, we attempt to possess and feel closer to the pleasures it offers us. The photograph is used here as a record of reality and is manipulated with two and three-dimensional collage. In the sculptural work there is an added opposition between the round aspects of sculpture and the flat aspects of photography, much like bringing a virtual model into a real space.’
