SHIFT

2025

Growing up as a dancer and being raised through the rigours of the classical ballet system.  This piece  reflects this rigidity against the desire to be myself, through its mesmeric and contemplative gentle movement, to achieve this I have included elements that are fragile yet are born out of strength, brutal processes and trepidation.

At 2 meters tall Shift is made from wood, wire and combustable porcelains.
