Description
In search of the promised Land, rusting tin cans.
In Search of the Promised Land forces the viewer to experience the fracture line between poverty and luxury through the slow transformation of materials. It contains themes of life, death and resurrection continued from previous work. The installation raises subtle questions about the effects of displacement on identity and hope. It makes us uneasy about the flimsy co-existence between worlds of poverty and privilege in our own culture.
This particular installation was placed in Carlisle Cathedral to coincide with Christian Aid Week. The Cathedral itself became part of the exhibition, providing a contemplative space for the viewer to consider the work.
