The Ever-Adaptable Office Worker, card and wire construction, 56cm height, 2012

This sculpture has three different faces as you walk round.  It's made using recycled materials that an office administrator will be handling - the cardboard boxes that the stationery comes in, old files and so on.  It is in homage to Diane at Great Yarmouth Museums who I observed calmly adapting to the constantly changing duties of her role as administration assistant, a recycling of skills and abilities in adapting to new processes, new systems, new structures.  Such people manage to retain warmth and stability within the modern office, thanks to their competence gilded with humour and remarkable good will, but the sculpture is not a portrait except in the most cartoonish manner: it is meant as a wry comment on the constant restructuring that goes on within organisations, the transient or fragmentary nature of contemporary working life!

The piece was selected for the Great Yarmouth Art Festival's visual art exhibition SPAN, held in September at Great Yarmouth Minster and curated by Rebecca Weaver.
