Carapaces
Wood, bodies, paper clay, pencil & crayon on paper and hand painted fabric.Carapaces (meaning an organic bony case or shield covering an animal) is a work that considers the idea of a personal or psychological space. The work takes inspiration from the improbable, intimate and strangely scaled buildings in the frescoes of Renaissance artist Giotto and particularly his unstable and awkward looking architecture that is often scaled around the human body and has a fragility and flimsiness. Work shown as part of the Northern Art Prize 2013 Exhibition, at Leeds Art Gallery.
