A site specific project exploring the trace of time, emotion and object found within liminal space.
The light that shines through the cracks
Moves in traces
There is comfort to be found in the most unexpected of places
The choices we make
Fitting into place
Fragments from different moments in time.
Almost colliding then drifting apart
METALWORK INSPIRED BY MYSTERIOUS REBAR CUBE AND LOCK FOUND ABANDONED
PROJECTING
REACHING OUT
CONSTRUCTING
Fixing the rust into fabric by applying vinegar and leaving to imprint to take a snapshot of a changing matter.
Sewing as though mending memories
Map drawn while walking
Spraying around and coating objects in diluted bleach, leaving to seep in.
Burning a hole through belonging
Hollow forms made to be held.
Some closed with other forms inside to create a sound once fired.
Texture made by imprinting found objects.
Applied Ilmenite, copper, cobalt oxide and some mystery glaze
These spaces on the edge of places provide
comfort like no human made creation
The wild and free anything can be
Stretching out to cover all uncertainty
Stretching out to smother
All the itty bitty thoughts
That tipity tap away
Stretching out as far as a feeling can travel
And then further
Spinning, tumbling, turning, churning
Saying I feel you yearning
Can you feel the earth turning?
Saying you'll keep learning
And you'll keep feeling that burning inside
That's how you know your alive
