Object for an Escape. 2014 Advances in technology are revealing more and more of our planet’s mysteries and under-explored realms, the invisible revealed, mythological quashed, made commonplace. How can one take back this imaginary realm, where can our imagination run wild, free from the constraints and demands or even proof provided through these scientific and technological advances? The Escape objects want to re-dress the possibility of ‘more’, the chance to transit (and linger) in between the real and the imagined. Originally commissioned by Selfridges, Festival of Imagination, London, 2014. Fibreglass, Resin, Oak, Steel, Stool, Bouyancy Bags, Rope, Bouy, Motor, Sand, Plastic,Books, 2000x 2000x3000mm
