About Fragile Alchemy

Experimenting with a synthesis of disciplines (performative, sculptural and photographic), Fragile Alchemy explores themes of transience and the ephemerality of life. As a visual representation of a temporary paper artefact, fabricated to be photographed and subsequently destroyed, what remains is the photographic trace. Paper, a two dimensional material used and disposed of everyday with little thought, yet delicate and vulnerable in nature, becomes a three dimensional object. Not only visible as the surface upon which representations appear but also as the substance of a work itself finding its own expression.
