“I’m making objects and putting them in a space. And each of these spaces has a unique function, has unique features and a unique surrounding environment. The site-specific creations always challenge my creativity. There are a number of considerations to make, including the sensory elements found within the environment, like sounds; the vegetation or landscapes that surround the site; its history or the events that happened or are relevant to the place. The combination of all these elements calls for a response from me as an artist, and challenges my creativity,”
