THE INEVITABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING

2024 Recycled fine silver; waxed cotton; salvaged iron, stone, concrete. 40cm x 33cm x 12cm Exploring the idea that no matter what the body and mind experience, the soul can not be harmed. I've recently enjoyed exploring the concept that no matter what the body and mind experience, the soul can not be harmed. I have found it very comforting to think of life like this, when I remember to do so, especially when considering the trauma and horrors that many experience and the deep sadness felt about loss of life in unexpected circumstances. Mounted on salvaged, flotsam iron, the silver here is formed from crocheted fine (99.9%) silver wire whilst the textile portion is knitted waxed cotton. The silver and the iron have been sealed to prevent degradation and tarnishing. Exhibited in The Entranced Essence at London gallery RuptureXibit(+Studio), Details of the exhibition, more views of the work and the inspiration behind it in my blog post, link below.
