So my latest creation was made for an exhibition i did here at Konstfact in Stockholm "This is a give, This is unknown". I went back to my old routes of plaster blocks, but just a little different, i have been feeling slightly lost and uninspired here in sweden without my good old west coast of Scotland! I started exploring the idea of "impressions" and my impressions of my surrounding environment. These thoughts link back to a MA visual anthropology course i did "fieldwork in Sweden". I started to explore the natural environment within an urban space. I took my visual research and incorporated them into the bellow pieces. Each of the items or natural matter used in the pieces are taken from different locations around Stockholm.
