The ceremonial site pieces are inspired by the clotheslines my mother used in the fifties and sixties morphed into ritual environments. The drying clothes are replaced with copper, the poles with wood dowels or plated steel. Objects placed among the uprights are found objects from travels - a scrap of homework and red tuff from Armenia, pot shards from Crete, and sacking discarded in Provence. The tiny shed is inspired by building “cabins” in the woods as a child. Those times forged an appreciation for primitive shelters and constructions.
