This work is about the interrogation of plywood. Recognising it as a manufactured material for purpose. I carve into the found ply blocks, mimicking bark-like texture, creating a sculptural surface. Printing them, documenting the craved surfaces. This work is process based and came from a thinking of transformation or possible destruction of materials. This work is also a reflection of the biography of plywood as an object, its edges become more prevalent the more I carve.
