Unearthed #1, 2023
Powdered pigments on Somerset
90 x 90 inches
Looking at everyday objects in a new way can have a transformative impact: what was previously overlooked now becomes worthy of contemplation, a starting point for a visual meditation. When drawn at a vastly enlarged scale, humble garden stakes extracted from the soil of Bernal Hill can acquire a hitherto hidden richness, as their anonymity fades away and their subtle contorted shapes, distorted by the shifting movement of the ground, are revealed and highlighted through an interplay of forms. The mass-produced and the ubiquitous become one-of-a-kind: everyday artifacts presented in a carefully considered manner.
