PATHWAYS 2023, Hook Green Wood, Lamberhurst, Kent

Responding to the site and its history, several sculptural works were exhibited in a private woodland, rich in biodiversity, for a collaborative group exhibition. Members of the public were encouraged to interact with the works and create their own 3D artworks using recycled materials.

TAILSPIN, 2023, 175 x 52 x 47cm. Sections of folded steel sheet inserted into vertical steel truss, with interlaced yellow and red cord.

FOUND, 2023, 98 x 57 x 100cm. Salvaged crib, jute string and found objects from rivers and waterways. The piece evokes a lobster trap but also a Moses basket in the reeds, questioning how we care for our natural waters and their living inhabitants.

COUP D’ETAT, 2023, 100 x 156 x 8cm. Reclaimed gate and fence. The gate is overwhelmed by a fence it is supposed to be keeping in check. Whose land is it anyway? Whose grass, whose wild flowers?

ELECTRIC HUSK, 2023, 139x 48 x 46cm. Salvaged electric cable and steel wire. A reminder of our reliance on electric power. Inside the bright outer husk, there is a smaller and darker husk emerging: the next generation perhaps.
