This body of work begins with objects discarded at the lowest end of exchange, items gathered from the ground at car boot sales, overlooked, unwanted, and stripped of value.

​

Each object is meticulously replicated in hand-carved limewood, preserving every dent, fold, fracture, and mark. Even the display table is reproduced, mirroring the original arrangement in its entirety.

​

Through this process, the work interrogates how value is constructed and reassigned. What was once negligible is re-presented through time, labour, and craftsmanship, shifting from the economics of disposal to the language of sculpture.

​

Authenticity, worth, and authorship collapse into one another: the copy becomes the artefact, and the overlooked is held in sustained attention.
