Passage – Sculpturescape 2015 (40x30cm)

 

This series of Sculpturescapes is about passage. When Jason took his rite of passage to find the Golden Fleece, and the Knights Templars took part in their rites of initiation,  the effect of place on their senses was important.  Being in the unknown fills the atmosphere with heightened expectation and drama.  Passages contain elements of mystery, discovery, unpredictability, sometimes darkness into light – light into darkness.  

 

 

A passage is an in-between place.  It links one location to another, one person to another.  However the mystery about a passage is where is it coming from and leading to.  It is  a space in which there is transition, a person entering is not the same person as on leaving.
