Endecotts Laboratory Sieves, Iron Trivet, Cotton Sheeting, Muslin, Polyester Stuffing, Watercolour, Pencil

The first in a collection of sculpture heads encased with metal sieves. The head has a bandaged and patched appearance, suggesting trauma and recovery from injury.

The head piece is made from found laboratory sieves, the type used for soil sifting and analysis. The appearance of the stacked sieve is both suggestive of warfare because of it’s helmet like appearance and of archaeology – the physical archaeology of the ground, but also a psychological investigation into the mind.

The uncanniness of the work emerges from the classical appearance and pose of the head, (Roman statue of a soldier for instance) applied to the abject bandaged surface which has been lovingly sewn and pieced together.

The trivet brings the sculpture back into the context of the domestic environment and this is another layer of the uncanny – recalling the decapitated head of John the Baptist.

The work is part of a large body of work started between 2021 and 2023 which aimed to create an uncanny anxiety by juxtaposing mundane, mechanical objects within the context of the human body.
