Walking Sphere
A bursary from A space Arts in Southampton in 2023 enabled me to take on a research project that investigated that possibilities of constructing and rolling a large clay sphere across endangered landscapes as way of embodying the land whilst capturing the precious terrain. A film of the performative act was exhibited at Gods House Tower in Southampton in January 2023 in a group show called Present Tense.

Transporting Walking Sphere to the location., Hugh GreasleyIt was so incredibly heavy, a wheelbarrow was needed to take it to the location.
Shattered Sphere, Suna ImreThe sphere shattered into many pieces during the firing process. For the exhibition I laid it on raw wool and used iron gall ink to bring out the surface pattern.
