REMAINS: Series 3, 2019-20.

Porcelain coated animal bone, glaze & gold lustre. Variable dimensions. 2019-20.

Remains is an ongoing series, which began in 2014 and continues to this day. The work serves as a thematic nod to the foundational ideas of my larger scale, installation-based projects.

While providing an avenue for detailed material-based experimentation, Remains serves as a champion to the metaphorical and philosophical potency of ceramic materials. In combination with bone; a signifier of mortality, Remains poses questions of legacy and reverence.  

Ultimately, I hope for the work to speak of the delicate nature of life, alongside ideas of preservation, memorialisation and commemorative practices; all of which form the conceptual premise of my installation-based work.
