Degree Show, Chelsea College of Arts, London, 2024
concrete, mild steel, fluorescent tube lights.
Five figures stand in a stark, clinical space. Heavy concrete bases anchor straight metal sheets, edges clean and severe. fluorescent tubes pierce the metal, flickering. the lights leave trailing wires mapping out a scribble/observation.
