INSTALLATION, Hi 5 COLLECTIVE


As a guest sculptor at the Hi 5 collective exhibition in an empty shop in Truro, I have been invited to create a sculpture installation....
Part of the brief concerned changing context of the space, making what once was a a shop a new place full of change and aspiration....
I decided to fill the most obvious empty space, the ceiling....
Limited by time and budget (£10!), I chose to use natural materials to create an intuitive and expressive form...
After much deliberation and different exploration of materials easily available, I stumbled upon a reed bed which provided the smile of inspiration...
In bringing natural materials into an empty shop I hope to share a little of the spirit of nature and human endeavor & creativity....
The picture shows the first two days work...
The sculpture will hopefully be finished for the closing party on the evening of Friday 25th September...
All invited 6 til late!!!
