"Different things have inspired this work. 'Parkour' or 'free-running', where groups of youths use architecture to run over, and fly through their urban landscape. This has a resonance with the Situautionist's idea of 'La Derive', or the concious drifting through the City as an activity.
A friend of mine recently moved to Saltdean, a small town on the South coast. It is a swamp of bungalow architecture which I am drawn to and at the same time am repulsed by. There is something so 'reduced' about one-storey habitats that scream 'domicile', rather than 'home'. The domicile can be seen as the antithesis of the spirit of Parkour. The house as container, or prison. One could extrapilate this as a model of the psyche; the unconcoius hidden behind the facade we present to the world. I have since begun working on larger architecture. Listening only to 'Einsturzende Neubauten' whilst making these pieces of work has added to the quiet, brooding paranoia I like to see in these buildings."
