An aniconic and symbolic modes of more than human systems of protection are made into metallic and mechanical creatures, alchemised by the pressure of curves, patinations, movement and ultimate purpose in relating through wear and speculative function.
In a time of personal and collective grief, these talismans are a testimony to the wisdom of matriarchal and anti-colonial systems of resistance, exilers to the bounds to imperial and racist fantasies we currently live in. The pieces intend to encompass the visceral connections between the process and message, to be mapped on the body like a constellation of cosmologies - noticeable in the continuous connection to spirals, eyes and sacred plants that appear in mystic art and poetry from India.
Fire and turning elements act as markers of time and state an ode to alchemical lessons of change, stained impermanently on metal, tarnishing, distorting; whilst symbolic of disruptive, revolutionary and hopeful beginnings.
