Exhibition: Perspective
Shifted, Melbourne
10 – 27th February 2010

How much does my learnt behaviour cloud my intuition and perception of a situation? I’ve often wondered why I judge people or certain situations and then in hindsight feel troubled that my preconceived thinking is so different to the reality of the situation. Nothing is ever black and white there are always degrees of sameness, contrast and change, the grey areas ‘in between’.

When black or white glass objects are made the reflection created is always a shade of grey. The colours we see are simply a degree of how much of this colour present in light is reflected and are symbolic of my impressions after a four month residency in Berlin. The work is cast in precious white and black glass, ancient materials associated with a rich history that affirms both the strength of European tradition and its fragile presence in the face of global commodification.
