Brian Alabaster’s residency, 2018 based at his foundry in Suffolk. As part of the residency I cast a body of work which finished with an exhibition located in his beautiful barn studio. Over the week residency the process of lost wax casting was used to create my first bronze sculptures - Bronze Drops and Vessel. The Aubergine was cast with a method where you directly burn out the aubergine in a Ludo mould which you then pour the bronze into, giving you a direct cast. Peace of Mind is a 3 meter wide plaster cast, wall hanging which was coloured and distressed before carving its surface.

Suspended from the ceiling by rope, these cast bronze forms hover just above the ground - heavy yet never quite touching. The sculpted drops, resembling oversized teardrops, embody both emotional and physical weight. Their metallic density contrasts with the softness of their form, evoking a tension between fragility and permanence. Freezing a moment of descent, the work captures the lingering presence of sorrow, a weight that is felt but never fully grounded. The installation plays with gravity and emotion, creating a quiet yet powerful meditation on grief, release, and the unspoken burden we carry.
