My practice is interdisciplinary and generative in results often with intimate sculptures and object installations. I am interested in objects that synergise intimacies with the body and yearn for completeness within absents and separation. I am motivated by the differences within my practice and how works can become questioned and altered by engagement and evoking exploratory understandings.

My research unfolds metaphysical values that converge ideas around the intent of magic on material thinking and speculative folklore. This is a continual investment of interest and development. These values are exposed, compressed and fabulised within working methodologies that collectively pull together transitionary states, and confessions of experience.

Interpreting NASA data

Interpreting NASA data; my objet ‘time to shine’ exhibited in the exhibition Digital Futures at the V&A May 2013

Maker; Mark Mcleish

Title; ‘Time to Shine’

Date; 2013

Materials; Silver, Nylon, glass, sand, plastic, resin, steel, paint

I became fascinated with the data for the planet ‘55 Cancri e’ (the diamond planet). I was inspired by how the involvement of both time and heat promotes the planets identity and map its life span.

The planets year lasts for only eighteen hours and experts say the planet will not last. I wanted to create a piece of work that exploited time; creating visual notions to explosives and a tension of change.

The materials I have used all have origins with heat; the blown glass the cast silver and the thermal reaction with resin. This became important in the making process as well as echoing a connection of order and chaos.

The piece was timed to be made to completion within the diamond planets year (18 hours).
