One And Three Alike

Title: One And Three Alike
Medium: 3 MDF plinths
Size: 1 meter
Date: september 2010


The correlation between an object and the context as to how it is viewed is a relationship that has always intrigued me The plinth used to elevate work is regarded as just a fixture. I have used a plinth as the central focus in my work. By inserting 3 plinths together i am removing the sense of fixture and inserting it purely as a found object. I have deconstructed and rotated these found objects to give it a new perspective.
This piece was created using found objects as part of the greetings space travellers group exhibition in the Oriel Henry Thomas.

Civilisation Grows As Old Men Plant Seeds

Title: Civilisation Grows As Old Men Plant Seeds
Medium: Patinated Unique Cast Bronze
Size: Palm Size
Date: Febuary 2011

Civilisation grows like a seed getting bigger and bigger until it dies and starts again. This is represented by the opposed growth pattern of the petals on the underside of the medal. As technology advances we crush the natural world and without knowledge of previous generations we would lose all connection to the cyclical nature of nature itself. The cycle for the natural world is represented by the clock face and civilisation/technology is represented by the cog.
This Medal was created for the British Arts Medal Society (BAMS) annual competition.
