This was one of a series of collages which led to a large sculpture: Above and Below.

The work is a response to the entanglements and cycles of life that make up the strata we walk on. Vertical lines of reclaimed steel and copper forge through layered horizontal substrates, interconnected and entangled.

It speaks about the continuous transformation of matter, and alliances between living forms. Intersecting roots, rhizomic systems, strata, fragile, delicate edges, in a process of becoming.. ‘frothing and tangling and fusing.. layering and layering and layering’ (Merlin Sheldrake).
