Bronze casts, Phallic, Yonic.

I made a collection of small bronze and aluminium artefacts which I felt pretty uninspired by, but within that process I also moulded some larger wax pieces, playing with the softness of the wax and seeing what potential that has for me. I was thinking about seed pods, wanting to make some hand made artefacts that looked like they had grown, not been made. I found the work leaning towards looking like genitals, and decided to move further into that rather than trying to deny it. So I made these pieces and after shining them up for hours, I like the result more and more. I am interested in the context that these objects might have within the context of my body of work; the most precious, shining and metallic pieces in an otherwise grounded and soft work. 

This one is the most interesting to me. I see the potential there for many of these to be made and to have some kind of hanging formation inform their existence. Maybe they could be some element of the reproductive system, or the digestive system.
