PUBLIC ENCOUNTERS
(2021)
An 8-month collaborative project between Central Saint Martins and Art Academy of Latvia on the topic of public monuments, culminating in a 10-day residency in Latvia.


HELLO GOOGLE
(2021) Red sand, metal and resin, 43 x 23 x 19 cm
‘Hello Google’ was a partially sculptural, partially performative artwork in Granary Square, Kings Cross comparing the traditionally male dominated presence of the public art plinth with the masculine environment of a construction site. Through the artwork we hoped to create a fragment of a new world that challenged the bias of industry and developing infrastructure. We aimed to highlight our familiarity with spaces of inequality which act as landmarks within our daily environments.


OUT OF THE BLUE
(2021) Polyurethane foam and silver leaf, 60 x 70 x 60 cm
‘Out of the Blue' focuses on the discarded nature of objects orbiting in outer space, the danger they pose when they fall from the sky and the monuments they create when they land. This ties into several themes when reflecting on art in a public context. The most important being that we should be conscious about what we put into the world and its purpose. Why are we adding to the landscape and who is benefitting? With spatial advancements moving faster than ever and potential habitats for Mars being physically constructed and enacted on Earth, it is important we remember the 22,000 littered man-made objects that are already in our orbit. Or the nearly 700 objects we have littered on the Moon and ask ourselves whether through expansion, we are simply exposing our ignorance to a larger landscape.
