The installation 'Sweet Dependence' is about the breath, without which we are no more.
We depend on it totally without knowing it and pay it little attention, yet it brings all life, everything that a being needs and more - everything that delights us.

On The Way Home
... is about me, and about mankind who stands on the soil of trenches and borders and migrates across continents. The shoes are the human element in all the chaos caused by war as well as the richness of cultures that we are all part of.
What unites us across all borders, is the fact that we are all human beings with the same basic needs.
Our cultures, religions and beliefs are just like shoes that are worn over our bare feet.

Contrasting spaces
This installation is constructed with 700 pieces of hand formed porcelain, each coloured with different various slips, incised and pressed with images from daily life . The metal rings that hold the porcelain tags and the centre piece are all suspended individually from the ceiling in order to promote mobility in the installation.
I was invited to make a piece of work to Commemorate WWI, for an exhibition entitled 'BORDERS'
