I am inspired by Maurice Sendak's children's story "Where the Wild Things are..." and have created a whimsical interplay between elements of wildness, beastliness, fine craft and domesticity (i.e the use of techniques such as binding, use of found objects such as buttons, threads and fabrics). Placed in close proximity to each other there is a dialogue that develops between the forms, colours and materials. To add to the whimsical interpretation and conversation between this cast of sculptural characters, the overhead lighting casts a multitude of shadows activating and integrating the 'wall' as part of the piece.
