Something Lost, Something Found
Solo Exhibition at Heseltine Gallery, Truro
Autumn 2025
An exhibition of sculpture, ceramics and prints inspired by identity, memory, and the balance between loss and discovery. The work reflects on how we interact with nature and create boundaries across rural spaces.
"I am interested in the traces of human presence that are scattered across our landscapes. Often small and over-looked, they become part of our everyday lives and almost invisible as we adapt our ways of living around these structures. Among these traces are the use of found materials; stone, wood and earth, but there are also a lot of types of hardware; chains, fences, hinges, nuts and bolts. They are all meant to contain, to hold something in, to hold something back, to mark, to protect, or to claim. How we interact with where we live is constantly defined by these interventions.
“In my work I take something that is supposed to be hardwearing and subvert it, creating something delicate and breakable. The works imply tension and restraint across boundaries that have been created. I want to create something with the look of strength but in reality is much more delicate, only to be handled with great care. Much like nature, whilst it looks robust, it is only through a delicate balancing act that it is held in its current state of existence, and it must be cared for.”
