Redefined Horizons is a sculpture from a site-responsive project called ‘Rugged Terrain’ (2020) exhibited at The Koppel Project. It was made during studio residence in a historic central London building which was in the process of being demolished and transformed into a luxury hotel. With an interest in the materiality of everyday landscapes, I gathered, reused, and reworked the discarded architectural components and other salvaged materials to create a body of work which used reductive geometric forms, considerations of surface, and seminal materials of industry to examine the artificial nature of our built environments. Over the three-month duration I would walk around the site daily to collect the buildings debris as the construction workers tore parts of it down. The sculpture, made with steel that was formerly an architectural element that I reworked, incorporated collaged images from architectural publications I found in the library of the building. The work is activated as the viewer moves around it creating different forms within the work depending on perspective.
