ABOUT THIS WORK

A human-scale sentinel stands upright in patinated heavy-gauge steel. Its broad arched planar wing is intersected by a tall folded form and features a heavily textured core at its centre. This work embodies a tension between lightness and mass. It’s not about flight itself but rather what remains after it.
