Worn projections

Worn projections

A series of worn, hand-pierced metal pieces which cast images upon the wearer when light passes through them. The deployment of light, shadow and the revealing and distortion of images as each of these elements move in relation to the wearer is ingenious. Through a relatively simple though painstaking process the pieces engage in a complex way with the environment in which they are seen. The inevitable and perpetual changes observed cannot help but intrigue and beguile where any number of more overwrought, showy devices would quickly tire. Each of these works is discrete, clever and beautiful in its own right.
