Black to Black (2016)
A continued refining of my investigation into the perceived disconnect between humans and the environment with this recent body of work. A gross versus subtle aspect is explored within the dark and brooding nature of these carefully orchestrated alike, but dissimilar materials.
The juxtaposition between the expected precision and value of traditional fine jewellery and untamed rawness of the natural specimens incorporated, creates a tension while inviting the viewer to contemplate the nature of fluidity of the contrasting materials.
