Balance Perceived
Glass and steel £5,900
This stands complete within its own arcing sense of balance whilst drawing the eye to explore the shifting vision revealed within the body of the glass.
Casting with clear optical glass, transparent volume, an expression for space, I am exploring the metaphoric possibilities of place. Space is where all is potential and all is actualised. The agglomeration of the conscious, unconscious and unforeseeable. Navigating the complex layers of our actions and interactions the rhythms of our existence emerge as complex ‘living spaces’ in cast glass.
Working with geometry as a starting point my approach to form is rooted in the idea of fusing the organic and the man made resulting in strong rhythmical forms that appeal to the senses. Striving to reveal a 4th dimension in my 3 dimensional artworks has manifested in my use of mirror, consciously chosen for its globally rich symbolism relating to knowledge. The Latin word for mirror, ‘speculum’ gives us the verb to speculate. The viewer is invited in to experience and explore.
