Braving the Anthropocene 2019
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.
