Cazimi (2024)

Collaborative art work created with Lucy May Schofield

A site-responsive sculpture created with artist Lucy May Schofield exploring speculative fictions, the notion of co-existence and reconciliation within material and spiritual realms. 
Each of the principle physical elements which form this suspended body are independent and not directly connected to one another. Their togetherness happens through each’s independent suspension from above and the pull of gravity to the earth.

Dimensions:
4000mm H x 900mm ø
Materials:
Mulberry paper discs, found cherry wood, oak supporting hoops, stainless steel micro cable, hand machined brass fittings.
