About Blauhaus

Blauhaus

A colourful and punky twist on glamorous decrepitude.

I am a Brighton based sculpture loving multidisciplinary artist and who explores 'Beauty In The broken'. In my work I investigate ‘Beauty In The Broken’, in which I find that physical processes that mirror corrosion and deterioration, in combination with bright colours, patination and gold, reflect our own emotional complexity and journeys.

Patinas and Rust, symbols of age and deterioration often represent a life lived and at times, the end of an object. I am intrigued by the history of such decayed objects and encourage the viewer to take a closer look and question what story lies behind each of them, what journey have they been through and what meaning did they carry in the past. Such items can be actual found objects, pieces I have processed to mimic decay and age or a combination of both.

By turning decayed and broken objects into art I am aiming to give pieces that were declared waste a new life and meaning and ask the viewer to see beyond rust just as a symbol of deterioration but as a hallmark of a lived life.
By pairing decayed objects with gold and reclaimed costume jewellery I create the illusion of found archaeological treasures. Sometimes things need to be broken to expose the true beauty.

Although my work does not have a religious meaning, it does explore the concept of life and death, and the themes of an eternal life and rebirth.
