Braving the Anthropocene: Air, Earth, Ether, Fire & Water

Reclaimed sports helmets with found natural elements : pheasant feathers, branches, dragonfly, beech seed pods, burnt wood & ashes, flies, paperclay branches, discarded bird nest section, shuttle cock feathers

Sizes variable

…..

Thinking of tenacity, fragility, resilience and beauty. Thinking of the human attempt to act as guardians.
Thinking of the confluence of man-made with nature.
Thinking of how these helmets, each representing an element: Air, Fire, Earth, Ether and Water, represent the entanglement with our surrounding natural worlds, the battle within ourselves and for humanity.

The Adventures in Transportation & Meditation paintings are a fascination with the collision of natural environment and man-made elements, represented here by vintage cars and architectural drawings. Raised as the only girl with three older brothers and thinking of road trips, dreamscapes, and environmental challenges, I love imagining new places for the viewer to enter into contemplation. Curiously devoid of a human component, the vehicle propels into or away from deliberately ambiguous and geographically anachronistic natural elements, raising the questions “Where are we going?” and “What are we leaving behind?”
These paintings represent the more surreal and adventurous aspects of our life full of journeys, challenges and creativity. You know yourself the dreams I mean . . .
