Excavation Series
2019 - ongoing
various sizes, all carved from 10x22x44cm blocks
Much like my drawings this series is a way of testing ideas and material qualities in parallel with my work.
the project began to question how else these modular blocks could be used in a less modular way and I sought to pull out organic shapes from within.
I think a lot about the underneath of the concrete of the pavements, the areas that have been dug up, the cement being cut through and the malleable nature of the crumbly soil which is revealed. These moments of extraction inspired me to excavate forms that could have grown. I wanted to use the hard material and find a way to soften it and make it feel more corporeal.
