A site-specific installation made in situ at Hatch, Somerset, a disused chicken barn. The work addressed the theme ‘Death and Microwaves’.
Scrap, reused, found, discarded and recycled materials: wood, metals, wire, rope, twine, cables, glass, plastic, miscellaneous debris and objects. Some found in the barn.

Dust of Stars questions what is waste, dead, no longer of value. We throw away so much. In this work I look at the bigger picture, existential questions, the magnitude of our universe, its persistence, and the fact - we are told - that all of life is made from the dust of stars made billions of years ago. ‘The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff’ (Carl Sagan).
I am interested in line, and the complex web of relationships from micro to macro. To me line denotes energy - an ongoing process of becoming… and everything is connected..
