The walls enclose an inner space that feels almost impenetrable; the perforations allow the viewer only limited access to the space within. Simultaneously, the mysterious interior draws in as the walls repel.
Smoke fired terracotta clay.
Each piece: height 50cm, width 30cm, depth 6cm
The back and sides are equally impenetrable.
Defence is all.
There is no welcome.
Conjecture and imagination must create the interior.
The ravages of fire and smoke create the exterior.
Fortress walls guard the space within.
Beady eyes watch from the inner sanctum, the watcher goes unseen.
Beady eyes give nothing away.
