PILGRIMAGE
Multiples of humble objects that
people on the move (pilgrims, tinkers, nomads, etc.) might carry around
and on occasions display in a celebration of the transient and the unassuming.
The
colours, forms and materials of these pieces reflect their subject-matter.
The impermanence of their structures echo the insecurities of an ever-changing
life. They contain blends and clashes of opposites: the present and
the past, the natural and the artificial, the permanent and the nomadic.
