             Iceworks represents a turning point in my art practice where installations of ice works act as a metaphor for the transient nature of the environment and of human existence.Based on the concurrent philosophies of early Zen and Greek theories that: “all is flux”, the mercurial aspect of ice conveys the inherent beauty of the ephemeral. Its ability to transform, crystallize and abstract reveals ice as a shape shifter which appears impenetrable one moment and precariously fragile the next. This new work investigates the dichotomy between nature’s capacity for stability and its capacity for flux, between order and chaos. Ice is imbued with this sense of duality, questioning whether such pairings ultimately exist in symbiosis or in contradiction. (click here to view full artist statement) |
