I am currently exploring how I can combine steel with natural materials to
produce sculptures that can stimulate one or more of the senses:
touch, smell, sound, taste, sight.
The overall shapes of the sculptures are based on plant forms. The colours
used are earth pigments and come from observation of plants. For example, yellow
– which is the last colour that visually impaired people can see, can be
contrasted with a dark base colour to provide contrast.
There is also contrast between smooth and textural shapes. Some shapes can be
mounted on springs to bring motion/ movement into the sculpture.
All the sculptures use natural/organic elements as their subject matter,
combined with sensory elements. However, they are not to be seen as purely ‘sensory’
sculptures, but sculptures that are accessible on all levels - visual as well as
sensory.
They are site specific, and are designed to interact with their environment.
