Ephemeral


Starting bid: £72

This work was inspired by a conversation about the moment before a leaf falls from a tree, when the stalk is partially detached and about to fall; in that moment when the potential energy of the leaf causes it to quiver.

In Ephemeral the piece of alabaster is fixed permanently in this moment of anticipation. When provoked it twists little and fast as it hangs, attached by 'invisible thread'. The curls of the wood it hangs on extends this poetry, setting the translucent 'leaf'' in a fantastical woodland.
