There is a network of caves deep below the earth where I now sit and write. I write it into being, “I, creature of echoing caverns that I am”. Glowing pools create light shows on the ceilings. Stalagmites and stalactites reach for one another across millennia. In each vast cavern lives the work I have not yet made. Each object shines and spins beneath my feet, charged with potential energy. Endless drapes of embroidered and painted tapestries create environments. Dancing sculptures dapple light and intricate shadows on the walls. Each day when I trawl the shoreline for inspiration in the pools between the rocks, I imagine a cracking open in the ribcage of the landscape. I am searching for a “plunge into the earth” to discover a place where I am eternal and where I might create myself.
This exhibition marks the first solo-exhibition and a culmination of a year of work on the Graduate Diploma of Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art.

Moving Poem
“I miss the sea and the stars”
“I try to suspend myself in time and space”
“A spark in a vibrating field of dark”
“I capture the flash of the instant. The burning shadow”
“Did I build this place from the atoms of my mind?”
“Could I create myself from fragments of earth?”
