‘Hanging in the Balance ll’ was a group show that ran in conjunction with Elizabeth Murton’s residency at the Kaleidoscope gallery in Sevenoaks.
Elizabeth explored themes of ‘transformation and connectivity, considering ecosystems of all kinds and the delicate dynamic balance that exists within them.’

My work ‘It Never Ends’ is an ongoing process that documents fragmented impressions of daily activities repeated in space and time. Doing and undoing, concealing and revealing, there is a constant quest to adapt and relate, to be in sync with our social and natural environment. It is mirrored in this piece in the search for visual balance between material and ‘empty’ space as well as parity of materials within the form. With this in mind, each element occupies the space its properties and specifications allow, whilst giving the other the ‘scope’ to realise its optimum development. In this particular work, the crocheted cells, which are consolidating the form, are associated with quieter, contemplative phases.
