, I became interested in the relationship between precarity and stability and how a collection of orthogonal space-frames could be crashed into one another or loosely linked to evoke various states of mind and body, and how they might foreground our relationship to space enforced and materialised through architecture. 

 (2021), for example, delineates a body-space formed by, and ‘retreating’ into, the corner of a room, whilst 

 (2021) lies horizontal, back pressed against the wall, attempting to reconcile the organic form of a body with the hard surfaces and rigorous geometry of our habitat. In both, the space-frames are fully fused. 

 (2020) are loose. The first hangs from the ceiling, the latter, in a loose entanglement, rests on the floor, and both evoke gravity’s pull. The fragile and chaotic indeterminacy of the forms is belied by the obdurate nature of the casting.
