Selini – This sculpture reimagines the Greek lunar goddess as a contemporary oracle, her mannequin form reborn in the glow of raw selenite crystals. Once a symbol of mass-produced beauty, she now radiates an otherworldly aura - her body armored in jagged, translucent stone, as if the moon itself sculpted her from its own light.
Spirit - This sculpture reanimates a discarded mannequin as a ‘nature spirit,’ its form entwined with foraged vines, seeds, leaves, twigs, bark, moss. The work is a metaphor for how nature reclaims the artificial.
Book Gardens - Real live gardens grown in old books.
'Plastic flowers'
is an installation created from scratched vinyl records and discarded plant pots, collected from a garden centre. These plastic pots are only used once and then are thrown away and as such are a real environmental issue.
This work was exhibited at the RHS Show, where they helped the Woodland Trust win an award for best stall. They have also been exhibited at Glastonbury Festival. You can now see them at the Art Bank's courtyard in Somerset.
