This installation of cast concrete, iron-oxide pigment, clay, coral, leather, wax,
aluminium and gold is a meditation on the changing lightscapes throughout our
days, and on the heaviness of time irrevocably passing. Vast cloudy afternoons, starry nights, long forgotten mornings; once gone, never to return. The objects–containers, vessels, industrial-organic forms–stand seemingly together, grouped like planets or a constellation, yet each ultimately alone, perhaps carrying the
same melancholy that contemplating the enormous universe sometimes evokes.
Comforting, the warmth of the sun is always present, as light connecting the
works and illuminating the gently rendered surfaces.
