Shuttering

Have started work on building the shuttering for the main structure. The whole piece will be cast in concrete imitating methods used to build emergency shelters during WW2 and the Cold War. It provides the work with elements of uncertainty and insecurity, linking past actions with potential futures. I like to introduce undefined time lines into my work mixing the domestic with the public. This has been defined by Freud in his use of the word Das Unheimliche - The Unhomely. Strictly this German word is translated as the uncanny, a feeling that something isn’t quite right.
