Trace

Enamelled cut steel Installation Approx: 4m x 4.5m A study of tree-stumps from Hestercombe estate based upon an archival document a dendrological study from 1997. Following a a lead into understanding place I talked, examining and recording the traces of severed tree trunks. The profiles were made at one of the last enamelling ants in the UK. As an installation the highly reflective surface of the sculptural elements allows light to become part of the work. From certain angles, a mirror like quality where colour appears to be almost absent, suggesting a void. The work follows interest is. loss, death and absence explored through a previous body of work Bound.
