Musing on some of the ways we have become ‘un-moored’ in our political and physical climate, this sculpture installation explores a sense of discord. It is part raft, part scaffold, part shelter, but also none of the above. Is there a safe place or wholeness to return to, or is striving for that in fact part of this generations’ existential crisis? Junctures or connection points are meant as suggestions of support as well as symbolic of decisions made.  Which ways have we gone already and which way are we choosing today? Flags with imagery from a forest long lost, act as markers to warn or to invite. The structure is a continuation of  forms explored in my drawings, collages and prints.

Transforming natural elements with non-natural paints, and attempting to return these to nature contemplating a loss of place in our natural world; a longing to return and inability to do so.

Using dead and fallen branches and mending or fixing them back with plaster, clay, string,  into a ‘growth’ that stretched towards a skylight. This is a contemplation on the creative impulse to mend or heal.
