carol & clover - 2020

A designated sanctuary of contemplation is assembled in the installation carol & clover  (2020). Centred around a soft pink chain-link swing with a cushioned seat, objects of both subtle refinement and ummonumentality are dispersed either on or close to the ground to conjure recollections of time spent close to the earth as a child. 

​

Absence of an activator grants the swing a brooding ambience, summoning retrospection of tender transition from childhood to girlhood through associative symbolism. A gravely personal adolescent narrative is also embedded in the allegorical imagery of the premature death of a close friend and young love.
