The Cake Tin is a visual and audio experiment towards my end of year installation Magic Box.
An explosion of staking tea cups, tea parties and presents of biscuits wrapped in butter wrapper. The Cake Tin explores the memory of my grandmothers cake tin that permanently lived on the bench, and was regularly filled with freshly baked goodness. The magic that it seemed to possess and contain, and the excitement of opening this little treasure chest.

'Chests especially small caskets, over which we may have more complete mastery, are objects that may be opened.' (Bachelard,Gaston, The Poetics Of Space, p 85)
With this explosion of thought, tiredness and sore feet from my new boots I came up with this.

Fragments of Issabella is a visual experiment towards my end of year installation Magic Box
A work in procress that is bassed on preserving the memory of my Grandparents, two incredible people who really influenced me and my practice. Magic Box is a memento of them,but also pays tribute to the era that they came from, the era of the hand made, to make do and mend.
