On reflection, the elements I found most exciting in 'the kitchen table' were the large, vertical table legs. I was pleased by their appearance protruding through the horizontal polystyrene, leading me to think about the possibility for this to work on a larger scale.

The detail that can be observed within the two forms is taken from interior architectural details such as wooden banisters and alcoving. I thought this would offer interesting perspectives on the industrial materials being used and the softer forms asscoiated within everyday environments.

The second formal structure, pictured above is aimed at developing my sculptural ideas more architecturally. The first structure hints at this through the combinations of horizontal and vertical elements but lacks communication with any recognisable forms. I began working with the polystyrene cutter more intuitively, working from photographs of highly detailed Baroque architecture in an attempt to provoke a thoughtful understanding regarding the architeture's heritage.

The polystyrene wire cutter allowed this to happen quickly and effectively, with the amount of detail dependent on my developing skills. This allowed me to think more ambitiously about producing highly detailed structures on a larger scale.

Currently, I am interested in pursuing architectural forms from different sites. This has developed from initial site visits, to responses gained from archival research. The combination of recognisable forms and detailing from historical sites, the layering of plaster on top of the polystyrene and Baroque traces aims to maintain and intrinsic interest in the continuing changes within internal and external sites. I still view this as a crucial part of my current sculptural practice and find I am constanltly striving for ways to make this more apparent.

For the exhibition which I am currently working towards creating a short film which explores the inevitable transformations that historical and urban landscapes undergo through time. Using stop-motion to film the sculptures, I will be showing the film at the Dukes in Lancaster to create a conceptual approach to an indefinite location.

The sculptures themselves will be installed in a derelict shop space which the viewer will be invited to visit after seeing the video. I believe this will invite conversation regarding how we interact with space and the understandings we impose ion structures through their timely alterations.
