Relic 3 shows is an exploration of the aesthetic qualities of fabric and wire endeavouring to embody the fluidity of fabric in a more permanent state. Frozen in a moment of time, defying gravity, the work hangs on a wall at eye level.
It consists of three pieces of found cotton sheeting stretched loosely and draping over a wire frame that has been twisted out of shape to distort its original form. Immersion into neutral plaster slurry gives the work a fragile solidity. Over time, the surface of the work transforms itself as the plaster dries, cracks and deteriorates, leaving tiny crevices and shadows, creating a miniature, rocky landscape with the appearance of an unearthed draped relic.
