Statement My inspiration is drawn from
exploring nature’s darker side - death, disease, erosion and the
fragile beauty that can be seen within these states. |
The
current body of work uses scientific images of eroding bone fragments,
which are not generally associated with beauty. Yet, when photographed
under the microscope can possess a lace-like delicacy which belies the
strength necessary to support the body. Intricate panels are created
from hand cut opaque glass, exploiting its inherent qualities of strength,
fragility, sensuality and allure. Layered together, the complex structures
possess a penetrability and depth which draw the viewer deeper inside
to investigate further.
