2025 2 Painted Steel and Perspex 250 x 110 x 80 cm
‘The Weight of Hollow Stone’ employs industrial material in place of natural form. The work is a playful abstraction and manipulation of organic objects to the point of geometric ambiguity. Inspired by meditatively stacking stones on a river bank, the piece responds to the call to interact and exert human control over nature. Confining and containing the environment to fit around the human world, these skeletal constructions replace the density and solidity of rock, resulting in an interplay between interior and exterior. The artist seeks answers through these new forms: is there a possibility of constructive interaction with nature?
