As artists we craft objects and images, a slow meditative and somewhat archaic way of working. We perch, at the edge of the 21st Century, change accelerating all around us, grabbing at little glints of insight and trying to pin them down in talismans of wood or metal or paper, or shimmering image. This installation tells the stories of travels and travelers exploring the borders of possibility in this time of upheaval and delight.
