Shelters

2015

In this body of work I aimed to explore the sense of comfort and safety that shelter can offer and examine the role of shelter in relation to the individual. This includes physical shelters and structures; places or items that offer safety and protection; as well as emotional shelters in the form of community, relationships, sense of belonging, inclusion, social spiritual connection.

I have taken a cross-disciplinary approach, creating a series of objects by folding or wrapping terracotta clay, resin, plaster, muslin and paper.  I have also developed a series of large and small-scale drawings.
