Polychromatic Flare II Sculpture

The works in this series consider ideas around belonging and a sense of place, using the symbols of the elements to describe our connection to the natural, physical world. Map-like abstract imagery helps to suggest the idea of navigation to its audience. Traditional methods such as acid etching and hand marbling allude to belonging from a historical context; they consider a sense of belonging that takes place from cultural heritage. Polychromatic Flare II is inspired by the connection Plato made between the Platonic solids and the elements of nature suggesting that the tetrahedron connected with fire, the octahedron with air, the cube with earth, the icosahedron with water and the dodecahedron with aether. The pieces uses triangles of prints and papers folded to give the appearance of a tetrahedron. The subtle colour changes are used to create the association with fire and flames the first instance but the piece also draws inspiration from changing tonal blends that can be seen in the natural world in skies and waters. These pieces are created from collected off-cuts of other works and therefore contain a huge range of different printed and marbled papers. The avoidance of waste in the work helps to highlight an environmental message through the piece whilst considering our connection to the natural world.
