Honoured to show ‘Echo Chamber’ at the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition 2024, on display in the Lecture Room. It is my first sculpture to be featured in the Summer Exhibition. The sculptures are created from Financial Times newspapers which draw inspiration from traditional Chinese ‘scholar’s rocks’ or ‘spirit stones’. Embodying microcosms of landscapes they are meditative focal points between nature and civilisation, the sculptures reflect on a world formed by datascapes shaped by the light speed movements of capital that creates both utopias and dystopias.
Special thanks to Ann Christopher RA for coordinating the exhibition, and Veronica Ryan OBE RA for selecting the work. The Summer Exhibition runs from 18 June - 18 August 2024, in the Main Galleries at Burlington House.
