Full Fathom Five

Sculptural installation exhibited at the Bleddfa Centre, Mid Wales, July 2021. A suspended skeletal house structure is described with delicate aluminium rods. Seaweed and elements of marine life appear to drift and float through it. Some of the elements are exquisitely plated with copper and patinated. The work was made in response to climate change and the materials used reflect the fragility of the earth.
