Continuum

The steel sheets used as the foundation for the Continuum series carry with them a long and layered material history. Originally extracted from the earth as iron ore, the raw material was mined, smelted, and processed in industrial mills where it was transformed into steel, a substance forged through fire, pressure, and human ingenuity.

Once rolled into sheets and distributed through the industrial supply chain, the steel was used in the construction of an agricultural building. There, exposed to the elements for decades, it quietly absorbed the passage of time - weathering and bearing the marks of seasonal cycles and human activity. These surfaces, rich with patina and memory, now form the base of my work.

In reclaiming these materials, I continue their journey - shifting them from functional use into a new visual and emotional language. The transformation from raw earth to industry, to rural structure and finally to artwork, mirrors the wider themes explored in Continuum: endurance, impermanence and the layered nature of time.
