Subliminal Artefact #1 wood, jute twine, unfired clay w36 x h32 x d8 cm |
Labouring under the sun while red kites glide and whistle overhead, I’ve been engaged in a kind of Medieval recall, compelling me to whittle wood. The shape of the wood called for some natural twine which I'm weaving, winding and plaiting. They are sticks I collected from woodland nearby.
Instinctively assembled these artefacts have no practical purpose. They're an echo, reminiscent of former times when we were all closely bonded to the land, governed by seasons and feudal lords. Back then, contraptions were devised to complete various everyday chores using readily available materials.
These simple objects serve as a totem for tactile connection with nature and our long forgotten tasks.
