Reducing Cube

At Walmer Castle

Description........ (4ftcube)

to examine the way our lives are spent chasing that perfect balance of the ideal

the central cube the ideal , the reducing sides how life gets in the way, emotionally, financially, physically, mentally. the unexpected out of our control.

constantly shifting taking us further away then ever closer,

offering a glimpse into the ideal from outside and its promise of perceived perfection. its shadows casting doubts and constant changes.

Expectant

At Walmer Castle

Description...........(5fthx 12ftdiameter)

a metaphor for us all throughout our lives.

we look into the pond of life ,not knowing what's going to unfold for each of us.

dreaming, hoping, longing, fearing.

perfectly personified by all mothers to be.

but what is life if we don't dream, imagine and ask what if?

Landscape & Portrait

At Walmer Castle

Description...........(8ftx4ft each )

thesis large stark white canvases have been placed at the top of the meadow be seen from afar, glimpsed between the trees and grasses.

an interruption not an intervention, to the natural surroundings.

maybe a way to project our own image upon them?

walk the meadow path to them ,look across as the flora and Forna creates its own image upon them. nature as the artist.

Diptych of Mirrors

At Walmer Castle

Description...........(4ftx6ft)

seen as a symbol of vanity, perceived as the ideal image.

to ask the question when we look into them, do we see what is really there? or a memory of what we were?

can we look with all honesty?

do any of us really want to take time to look at who/what we see?

or keep the perceived image we project?

Flint Life-Reclining.

At Walmer Castle

Description...........(4ftx3ft)

like snowflakes no two flints are ever the same.

there natural forms have been used as tools, weapons and building materials, both decorative and practical.

the white outer giving way to a deep intense mirror-like inner.

like us hiding our deepest thoughts from the world.

such a simple but complex material lends itself to being used randomly to create an artists view of the body at rest, staring into the distance. thoughtful? or concealing?

Small Forms

At Walmer Castle

Description...........small simple forms placed within the window reveals in the lower depths of the castle, lit from behind and framed by the vast walls .
