Cement, steel nails, embroidery, fabric particles and acrylic.
They appear in groups and are seen in solitude to mark venerable gestures.
Columns rise, hold and perhaps falter. They stand with resolve, are built for weight and endurance. But an objective is not a promise. Time weathers and purpose eludes with age. A column's strength may have its fragility foretold. This work examines the lives of columns as support and symbol - of vitality, permanence and their flickering existences.
To immerse within and let water take over our eyes: it can be poured onto the pod to glide through the crevices to anoint the columns.
