Perforated Neon
2017
Stainless steel and neon
20 x 15 x 10 cm
This work is part of a body of work made during a residency at Benson Sedgwick Engineering. The residency culminated in a solo show at Ugly Duck in Bermondsey in London as part of their 5 month Real Virtual programme of events. REAL/ VIRTUAL was the launch of a 5 month programme of events which explored the boundaries of reality and virtuality.
In an era where technology is fully assimilated into society, augmented and virtual reality have shifted notions of what constitutes the ‘real world’. Is reality distinct from this rapidly emerging virtual landscape? Will technology improve our future, making it efficient, sustainable and happy or could it be our downfall?
Moiré
2017
Stainless steel and bronze
50 x 30 x 20 cm
These two sculptures can be stand alone pieces but are best shown together where they overlap and create a moiré effect. These works were inspired by the experience of moving through cities when the light flickers whilst travelling past railings or the overpasses on motorways.
