‘Perfectly poised between dream and reality -a mere gust from a carelessly slammed door or an inopportune sneeze could tip the balance and the whole thing come toppling down in a haze of fragments, recollections, notions and dust.’

Mutter Matter -murmurings from the kitchen table at The Regency Town House, Brighton May 2011

‘Upon entering the kitchen the visual senses are stimulated by a spectacularly large kitchen table covered in white sculpted mountains of flour with glass milk bottles, glass trays and teacups carefully balanced on a base of flour.
These elongated and thin structures remind the audience of delicate stalagmites. The delicacy of the materials used, glass and chinaware, combined with how the objects are balanced on top of each other create a sense of tension. This sense of tension and balance enhance bodily awareness where body motion turns into an extraordinary experience like that of an acrobat walking on a tight rope…
The stillness of this majestic landscape is another aspect of the artwork which awakens the senses of hearing, vision and touch.’
