Graduate show preparation
Installation research for the Graduate Show at York St John, 6th to 14th of June. I have been trying to include gravity and pressure into the stack of papers, to emphasize the 'dust to dust' idea of the composted remnants of lives which are excavated at the Hungate Archaeological dig. I didn't want it to be a downtrodden feeling so I wanted to take the viewers eye upwards to the future. I feel I finally achieved this with the plumb line and weight creating this space between the objects.

Open Studios Display
A view from the Open Studios Display in Studio 4 at York St John. I met many interesting and inspiring people. Thank You to Cecilia who reminded me that Lavoisier, father of modern chemistry said: ' Rien ne se perd, rien ne se cree. Tout se transforme' (Nothing dissappears, nothing is created, everything transforms) As artists we might have creativity, but we don't create, we transform materials.
