Water and Rust (2005)

Contemporary "history" is preserved through the use of rusted metal, rendering an archaeological quality to the objects. Rust is a chemical process and in the art work it becomes a metaphor for the fight against time, vulnerability and transience. The pulpit, robe, TV monitor and baptismal font become a moment for contemplation, of silence. Moisture or water is necessary for the start of the decaying process of rust and is also symbolic of a purification process - a new beginning?
