​They rose to celebrate Liberty, from dust whence they came.
​2017/2018      Waiclay Exhibition Hamilton Museum
This work honours the voices of courageous women who reach up with their voices to be heard and brave actions taken to be role
models to others giving hope and encouragement to those who are oppressed

The un-fired engraved slab below accompanied the work - residue from the carved forms is to 'ground' the installation -
it's ​tribute to our environment, whilst proposing the universal message from the 7 women of substance.

                         Life's pulse flows to each tip.                                                                Even delicate stems can bend and not break
                     Light lifts me skyward... to seek                                                                   under pressure from strong forces.

Rescued - clay on metal
And the sky lit up all around.  The earth trembled.  Damaged. Vibration pounded his soles - he ran.
Another void of terror - then stillness he heard.  A cry, a scratching, claws.
Reaching he found the one he could comfort - the only one left he could hold.
