A Thin Blue Blanket

Working mostly in three dimensions , my practice is influenced by the ardent need for exploration, the characteristics of gravity and the presence of worlds beyond our own. With a keen interest in sky and what lies beyond I intend to reflect upon the avoidance of earthly confinement, showing a distain for bodily limitation and one’s compulsory residence on the planet. I take influence from the work of the late cosmologist Carl Sagan and I am enthused by the practices of artists who use gravity as a medium. Using paradoxical qualities of both the hopeful and the melancholy, the work intends to merge themes of child-like aspiration and parental realism. The work ranges in scale to seem abstractly totemic or idol-like in appearance.
