transmutation

Elements and minerals have different melting points and temperatures at which they become solid, so combining them is tricky. But weaknesses and stress fractures induced by unusual pairings can, in their incompatibility, produce intriguing results.

Undertaking explorations using metals, silicas and salts is originating some surprising transmutations. Disintegration from one form and subsequent re-formation into another is thus proving to be decidedly thought-provoking. Utilising chance initiates exciting and unpredictable outcomes, which definitely encourages my desire to embrace further possibility through continuing experimentation.

what lies beneath?

To look under our feet is to glimpse past and future, entwined in stories of creation and time, readable in the present. Uncovering this richly woven tapestry of dynamic tales concealed behind its recognisable facade, provides intriguing insight into the static scenery we think we know.
