'Spring Summer Collection 2020' - RWA Sculpture OPEN. Bristol. 09th Sept 2023 - 14th January 2024

'Spring Summer Collection 2020' - Sculpture. Selected and Exhibited for the RWA 170th anniversary Sculpture Open 2023-24

This sculptural work is about and of its time – it’s a piece about collection and context. The work draws on an established cultural legacy of selection and display and our changing sensibilities about material provenance and associations. This is a collection of natural history specimens found ethically on walks from our family home in Somerset during the unfolding first Covid lockdown. The wood was sourced from discarded furniture and old pallets and the imperfect glass was retrieved from a dismantled greenhouse. The found specimens, oblivious to our human dramas, are preserved, arranged and labelled with contextual newspaper clippings from the days of their collection.
