ARTISTS STATEMENT:
"Fixed in time, these totems of man and bird are a memento mori, symbolic reminders of mortality.
Rudimentary amorphous forms wrapped in plaster and concrete are imbedded with ceramic shards from the domestic and the everyday, recounting a lost archeology.
These are constructed hybrid forms united by bright artificial colour, which mimics a synthetic reconstruction of nature.
These objects commemorate time held still."
'Time Held Still', mixed media, concrete, ceramic shards, shells, timber, fabric, plaster and acrylic paint, 40 x 45 x 23 cm, 2018
