Point of View
2012
Polystyrene rendered to look like stone 250 x 400 x 300 cm (Installed measurements)
Commissioned for the Cambridge Institute of Astronomy by Futurecity.
An ongoing body of work creating installations that consider leaning volumes and mimicry of materials.
Point of View was a temporary site specific public artwork commissioned by Futurecity for a one day event called Limits of Seeing as part of the Visualise programme. This installation broke up visually as the viewer walked around the space, re-forming at an optimum point where the installation reflected the triangle in the architecture behind.
Counterbalance
2010
Jesmonite, steel, perspex and concrete
250 x 300 x 500 cm (installed measurements indoors)
The sculpture is precarious; as it looks like it is suspended about to fall over yet at the same time it is imposing; as it gives the illusion that it is made from concrete. An abstract photograph ties the installation together by reflecting the sculpture, the architecture of the Mackintosh building and the viewer as they walked through the space.
The sculptures were shown at the Glasgow School of Art and then installed in a private garden in Lincolnshire.
