In your own time, at the end of the day, 2026 (WIP)

This installation came to being over the course of a day at Wysing Art’s Centre. It brings together items and objects made over a 10 year period, things made and half made from the testing and working things out stages of different works, that informed ideas and but it’s significance had remained in a supportive, testing, and unresolved space and never became part of the work itself.

I arrived with question around what resources I have both within and around me, in myself, in materials and relationships and how I could share something that feels reflective of me now. What might evolve in collapsing different times, experiences and locations within myself and in centering these residues of my practice.

Over the day I worked with these objects, fragments forms and surfaces, allowing them to find belonging in each others company, exploring their material relations, echoes and impressions on each other.

There is a full material and object list at the bottom of the page.
