2017-2019 With the help and support of James, Pauline created Robot Circus.

As a disabled artist I spend a lot of time indoors and appreciate the work and skill that has gone into normal household objects. Unable to add to landfill I restrict the materials I use to unwanted brass and kitchenware that no longer has purpose. My art is reimagining discarded objects, telling a story by putting items together that were never destined to be united.
