Contemporary Fossils is a series of natural specimens, collected from nature and solidified in concrete blocks, fossilising them. The act of isolating each specimen from its environment and the elements, capturing a moment in time; a story through the specific conditions required for each specimen to form.
Each fossil intersects a product of natural systems directly into the rigid geometric form of a concrete block. This interaction tensions the concrete's architectural use as a contemporary stone and the organic materials discourse and formality, to create a subtle interaction that elicits an impactful response.
Minerals is a series of mirror-polished bronze forms, with intricate interiors patinaed black. These pieces are placed in proximity to large stones, designed to tension the delicate treatment and preciousness of bronze, against the solidity, weight and beauty of the natural stone.
The large stones are arranged into a landscape that reflects the stones formal qualities across the mirror polished surface of the bronze. This proximity creates curiosity that draws the onlooker closer before revealing the varied landscape interior of each bronze piece.
