Creep

2021

Materials: Beeswax and mixed media

Creep takes the form of a chain necklace composed of common daisies, hand sculpted in beeswax. The work is photographed on the artist’s body, the flowers sitting close to the throat while their roots extend downwards to meet a surgical scar running the length of the spine.

The work brings together ideas of perfection and imperfection, beauty and value, and reflects on the relationship between the body and the natural world, including attempts to control it and its capacity for repair.
