Keron prefers to use found and recycled objects, generally working by hand using traditional tools and techniques. This slower process encourages a way of seeing and then re-seeing the materials and allows new ideas and forms to emerge. Keron is also interested in the passing of time recorded in the objects themselves, and through his interventions. Working to a domestic scale encourages Keron's work to be looked at carefully and to find a place in the home as well as the gallery.
