Ice

   These refrigeration works, Onward series, use the creation of a naturally occurring process (water turning to ice) recreated through industrial means. These pieces change, distort, deteriorate and grow back again, all the while being supported by a noisy, industrial codependency of technology and energy. Like with the other works there is a conflict or dichotomy created between strength and fragility, between the fixed and the transitory. These works are about the fluidity of moments and the inevitability of decay.
