23.5° continues @castor_gallery till the 9th December 💫

This piece, Regrounding 23.5° is one of the wearable pieces in the show, modelled to fit my feet. The two parts are staggered to give the best chance of balancing at this new incline. Inside of the shoes are hammered pieces of aluminium outlining a gravitational field diagram from James Clerk Maxwell’s ‘A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism’ from 1873. These shoes, and the rest of the show, question how an adjustment of our alignment or position in space alters our perception.

We got hitched 💒 a day of more love and laughter than I ever could have imagined! The best way to celebrate a decade with @benrob88 and I wish we could do it a thousand times over 💫

Thank you to all our gorgeous family and friends! To my dad, @evieridyard, @badgal__rayray and @mikehwhiteside for their speeches which will make me weep for years to come. But especially thank you to my incredible mum for making the wedding dress of my dreams and for growing all the flowers for our special day 🎀 Shot by @luke_j_bell by @grakenstein

𝘌𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢 is on now with @carvalhoparknewyork in New York! Runs till 29th June.

Feel very lucky to be showing alongside Taylor Kibby, Liam Lee, Cato Løland, Se Yoon Park, Brian Rattiner and Pauline Shaw. ‘Varied and acute alignments with the natural world reverberate through the space, engaging physical senses while also echoing them, as aspects of our humanness find their correlative in these works.’ Curated by katemothes whose text can be read in full on carvalhopark.com

Thank you to @jenniferecarvalho and @seyoonpark and the whole team at Carvalho Park for all their care and thoughtful discussions as this show came together 🤍 taken in Brooklyn New York by @grakenstein

insolation, 2023
textile, primer, oil paint and wood, 69 x 38 x 26cm

The middle of the three crescent shaped works in the show, Insolation refers to the measure of solar radiation which reaches the Earth. The surface of this piece appears sort of sun-bleached, the paint stripped back as though scorched on one side.

Across the installation are references to alternative forms of measuring. Radial wave lines on the surface of sculptures allude to tidal, circadian or electromagnetic rhythms. Curves and nodes take on a symbolic edge where ‘12’ repeats across pieces, referencing the ancient Sumerian method of counting and recording time which used the number of knuckles on one hand.

23.5° @castor_gallery closes this Saturday. Thank you so much to everyone who has visited the show 🤍 send me a message if you’d like to catch up there this week! taken in Castor Gallery by @grakenstein
