Sculpture and drawing / Ongoing
A body of work that focuses on the cyclical, sacred and fundamental nature of basic materials. The mining and processing of which the modern world relies entirely upon. I am fascinated by the fact that our ethereal digital world relies upon the same materials that ancient civilisations did for theirs, and that it is the exploration of material processes that has propelled society ‘forward’. I am concerned that disconnection from the material world contributes to a misunderstanding of our basic needs as humans and a lack of reverence for the gifts we extract from the earth. The works that have emerged as a result of this fascination, contemplate a relationship between witchcraft and science, God and sand.
Exhibited over 2 solo shows:
Witchcraft and Science, God and Sand / Jwllrs / 2024
Earthworks / SHOP Preston / 2023
I was invited by Lancaster Arts to speak about this work and my research into Sand in an artist talk at Lancaster University. Read an extract: ‘The rocks dreamt so we could scroll’
