Sol Invictus

2024
Bas-relief in salvaged wood, 61 x 61 x 9cm

‘Unconquered Sun’ was a title used for some of the emperors of Rome. Sol Invictus depicts a section of the surface of the sun showing a large sunspot. This surface is also a landscape but one so severe we could never visit it as it is around 5,600 degrees Celsius. Earth happens to sit at exactly the right distance to it for life to be possible but the balance is precarious.

Nebraska

Three examples of nineteenth century stereo cards


Stereoscopic photo-prints were very popular around the turn of the century. Before mass tourism they were a way for people to connect to famous landmarks and sites all around the world. You can still find them and use them as a portal to a world that is long gone. The Nebraska relief is based on a stereoscopic card from 1908 depicting the “Platte Canon, South Park and Alpine Pass”. The name of the Platte river is a French translation of the original name the local Otoe people had for it. Nebraska means “flat water”. A narrow train track looks overwhelmed by the menacing rock faces beside it. You can only see a short distance ahead. Nobody knows what is waiting around the corner.
