“Birth, Re-”, 2016. Mosaic: ceramic, glass, millefiori on wooden board, direct method (30.5x30.5cm). 99% re-used material. I like to believe that, at birth, a part of universal energy (white) gets encased in our limited body, and gains a particular consciousness (colours). When we die, this fragment of energy returns to its whole, which is everywhere anytime, contemporaneously encasing fragments in different beings, before and after the Big Bang, on Earth and elsewhere. The question which torments me is: does it retain any consciousness, any individuality? Any shape or dimension? And if we could choose, which fragment would you be? #mosaic #reusing #recycling #upcycling #birth #rebirth #art #contemporaryart #abstract #colours #colors #ceramic #glass #energy #life #white #whole #fragment #thatartisrubbish #reusedart https://www.instagram.com/p/BbtbH_bH9Jo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q43aa574kx0a

Mosaic: polystyrene on metal board, direct method (20x31cm). 100% reused site material. 3rd piece of the Residency: used tea cups, rearranged to remind the building work often undertaken in cold weather, under drops of rain and gusts of wind, relief from which we then seek in a nice cuppa @cwnd_resi2017 #artistcommunity #artiststogether #artinthecity #artinthemaking #abunchofartists #commongoal #lotsoffuntocome #artworld #londonart #londonartists #bettertogether #artresidency #london #canarywharf #newdistrict #londonnewdistrict #interestingstuff #loverubbish #artresidencylondon #art #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #reuse #reusing #reused #upcycled #thatartisrubbish (at Canary Wharf) https://www.instagram.com/p/BY5Jw0rnqAi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d8bpisa96h3v
