\u2018Metamorphosis\u2019
\nsteel and spray paint, 198 x 87 cm, 2024<\/p>\n

The sculpture is situated outside the church entrance and takes influence from the shapes found within the church’s architecture. The stained glass windows from St. Saviours inspired the shapes seen within the metal structure. The sculpture aims to incorporate the natural elements of the garden from where it sits, making it feel like part of the greenery.<\/p>\n

\u2018Adherence to a Column\u2019
\ncast paper pulp, dimensions variable, 2024<\/p>\n

The paper cast of the column becomes a pseudo-palimpsest, bearing marks that point towards different times, alterations, and interventions, while simultaneously pointing inwards, alluding to the sculpture’s own making. Casting compresses the many layers of the original structure’s history into a single, short-lived representation. As such, the work requires a nuanced negotiation of time; my conscious choice to use a non-durable material, paper, evidences the passage of time as it is inevitably vulnerable to change. This process mimes the natural processes that transform real buildings into ruins.<\/p>\n

\u2018Prayer\u2019
\nplaster, resin, 30 x 18 x 18 cm, 2024<\/p>\n

People are constantly searching for new beliefs for their spiritual needs. From horoscopes, to MBTI-16 personalities (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) derived from the concept of Jungian analysis and simplified to eight letters. They divided the complexity of human nature into 16 categories so has to find their own kind. People use these as a basis for defining themselves, and an over-reliance on these concepts labels, flattens and homogenises human beings.<\/p>\n

\u2018Twice Shy\u2019
\nfabric, paint, felt, wood, 40 x 28 cm, 2024<\/p>\n

The textile sculpture hangs alongside the kneeling cushions, using the same format to discuss the disconnect of feeling unable to pray. The pillow shaped sculpture is unable to be used to complete the act of prayer, as you would fall through the sculpture breaking it. Inspired by the poem ‘two headed calf’ by Laura Gilpin, the poem reminds us to look at the good while acknowledging the future might not be. The iconography replicated with the two headed lamb of god, referencing the displacement in trying to find comfort but unable to within the church. As the text on the sculpture references the feeling of needing to achieve perfection in order to be ‘worthy enough’ and rather the idea that anything falling short would equate to a sinner.<\/p>\n
