Artist Statement

This installation has been brewing in my mind for some years, alongside mounting international concerns over food security.

The work utilizes concrete to symbolise dominance and conflict. Applied in a domestic setting, concrete challenges our sense of comfort and wellbeing; it juxtaposes the re-assurance of the food larder with the anxiety of the emergency shelter.

Inspired by the words of George Monbiot ‘Man is just 4 missed meals from social unrest’, the piece is stark, uncanny, a memorial to our past, present and future.
