The Light Erratic, Written in Rain
2022 - 2023
A glass covered book filled with pages that were ‘dyed’ using tissue and rainwater on the roof of PS2 during my short residency there. The building on Rosemary Street is full of amazing textured glass panes and bricks. The regularity of the bound pages, and the patchwork paper echoes the uniformity of the built environment, but the chaos of colour and blend is pure light.
Materials: tissue paper, thread, glass.
Just Don’t Hold Too Tight
2018 - 2020
Thinking about how things and people we love can hurt us if we hold on too hard or for too long… The fragile and sometimes fleeting beauty of relationships. Each ‘flower’ is painstakingly reassembled from broken parts. Making this work was a response to personal experience but it tells a very universal story.
Materials: thread, dried rose petals, reclaimed lightbulbs and kiln formed ‘stems’.
Projecting Your Trauma
2019-2020
Very thin petals are laminated between glass slides and projected. Their material has a memory of every break, tear, crease and fold which becomes magnified in the final luminous display. Images are high-res digital photos taken from the projections and available in various sizes.
Petal Vessels
2018 - 2019
The dried petals have peculiar material qualities, similar to paper and can be cast or moulded into structures while wet, and can be preserved using various methods.
