Flicker and Form explores pareidolia – the instinct to find familiar forms in abstraction. From curious clouds to dissolving shadows at twilight, these fleeting visions have shaped creativity since early cave art, where tricks of the light traced silhouettes that became stories and myth.

The collection began with a cyanotype (sunlight print) of a shadow impression, which was then folded into a three-dimensional model and its new silhouette re-captured. Repeating this process creates a continuous cycle between silhouette and sculpture, with each form a reimagined version of the last.

Articulated elements are obscured, allowing pieces to sway, fold and shift subtly with the body – as day folds into night. Fragments of frosted and mirrored acrylic are laser-cut and etched, holding hazy silhouettes. Silver is hand formed with salt-cast textures, drawing shadows into three-dimensional space and highlighting the ongoing interplay between silhouette and material form.

The collection ultimately celebrates the beauty of subjective experience – inviting imagination to wander through the in-between, and meaning to emerge as it flickers and forms.
