Rubbish Works is a collection of functional design objects created from salvaged glass and metal, collected from illegal tips and roadside refuse. The works are textured and irregular, drawing both their forms and their surfaces directly from the materials they are made of - the steel textured by rust and lives of past use and the glass panels moulded in the kiln to the form of soggy roadside cardboard.

Thistle Chair is a large sculptural couch constructed from stainless steel and upholstered in the pappus-clad seeding flowers of the Artichoke Thistle. The work is driven by an interest in the brittle and inhospitable fur-like materiality of the matured thistles as well as the play between utility and complete uselessness in furniture as pure sculpture.
