Mary Colson
This piece started as an MDF plinth found in the B&Q off-cuts bin! The dimensions of the wood inspired the concept of a cross section though a stylised world. It has manifested as an upward progression from the fiery flames of hell, through the beauty of the natural world and up to the glory of the Heavens Above.

How we overestimate our miniscule powers when compared to the timeless forces of the planets.
How all things: the seasons, the tides, our bodies are controlled by the moon and sun.
How to live in harmony with the planets and understand our purpose?
Inspiration and process:
An interest in ancient history, archaeology and the natural landscape has continually inspired my work. I am drawn to using a tall slim format which is suggestive of a 'slice' of the landscape, combining imagery representing the layers beneath the ground and the landscape above, as though glimpsed through a viewfinder. I combine materials from many sources chosen for their surface quality, shape or hue, often using found objects as my starting point. I also make my own ceramic pieces and experiment with grout mixes and paint finishes.

Here, in 'Heavens Above', the constellations, the sky, the cosmos and the universe all demonstrate their influences in this playful exploration of the realms and mysteries above and beyond our world and ourselves.
