The Cabinet of Curiosities 2007

This is an on-going project, started as a visual diary, but it developed into a collection of curiosities, which the viewer may or may not feel some association with, taken from daily experiences either visual or mental, the nature of art practice/theory, or as some formal development from one piece to another.

It was a lighter hearted approach to scale and thought processes, having worked on larger pieces of work for long, extended periods of time. It is throwing up new themes, recurrent themes and creating ideas and forms that l will explore in more depth later.

Homage to Helen Chadwick

I started to see similarities in what l was constructing or casting, and realized there was some link with contemporary artists’ work, and so l carried on with this association for a while. Here the heavily textured, phallic shaped Kenyan vegetable, Kerala, was cast, as a follow on from the more female erotic allusion. This piece reminded me of Chadwick’s work ‘l thee wed’, so added the fur fabric.
