parts of a closed world
Installation, 2023

The title is already a dilemma. How can you expose parts of a closed world without eliminating its closed nature? It’s muddy – not only out there along the brown river and the green fields in the Wye Valley but also inside us as humans. We are like mud, a mixture of solids and liquids, - and a suspension of perception interacts with the cognitive and nervous system and everything in between. I’ve always been attracted to mud, to its peculiar nature and state, and this multi-layered installation it’s my actual working material and content-carrier.
