Silent Fleeting Remnants
'Silent Fleeting Remnants' is a sculptural installation that explores the shift, alteration and impermanence in time
through the use of fabric as a metaphor for time of place and the transience of age. With presence and absence of
being suggested through the physical presence and absence of fabric within the sculptures, crystallization thus,
suggest a layer of preservation over the fabric, which is juxtaposed by its sharp edges.
Through the use of ceramics the fabric begins negation as it burns off while it is fired, leaving only a hollow, fragile
porcelain cast behind which captures its last moments and traces of its initial state of being.
'Silent Fleeting Remnants' explores the subtle relationship between crystals, crystalline glazes and ceramics to suggest
the melancholic passing of time through the continuous negation of being into nothingness through absence and presence,
forms and formlessness.
The installation explores the duality of the lamentation and beautification of the fragility of time and its fading reality, from
its departure from presence to absence, familiarity to unfamiliarity through imperfections reflected through the forms and
also the phenomenon of crystallization.

A Fragile Pause
'A Fragile Pause' is a sculptural installation involving the crystallization of fabric. It delves into notions of
impermanence and fragility, imprinted within the core of time and the constant negation of being into
nothingness.
'A Fragile Pause' explores this fragile state of timeless reality, within almost receded moments of dwelling,
reflecting the departure from presence to absence, familiarity to unfamiliarity, creating a world born from
frozen time.
The initial being present in matter and objects, in time, transforms and departs from its own
state of dwelling, ceasing to exist. But the presence of its dwelling, when removed, triggers a search for a
new being. Within the absence, the nothingness and silence, it searches for new meaning. And all that is lost,
when recovered, reaches its own being. And for all that is transformed, when captured in time, leaves a trace.
Remnants left from the object’s initial state of dwelling emphasize the fragile state of time and the impermanence
of matter. While feelings of longing and loss are suggested but not described, and traces of partially fragmented
duration of dwelling, appear like an unfamiliar dream, as its fragility continues to draw emphasis on its preciousness.
'A Fragile Pause' places a pause in transformation, time, existence and the negation of being into nothingness.
