‘Decisions’ (2024)
Mixed Media Sculpture: Epoxy Resin, Air-Dry Clay, Plaster, Modelling paste
12 cm x 24.5 cm x 9 cm


We’re all capable of the most incredible change. We can evolve while staying true to ourselves. We can honour who we’ve been and choose who we want to be next. Isn’t that amazing. Human beings with the future in their hands. Each decision we make helps us to change and evolve, becoming a part of our very being. The power of free will and decision making, the future in our hands. Human beings, how amazing. This sculpture is made up of a cast of my hand and a brain that was sculpted from clay. The brain symbolises how we have the ability to change and every decision we make becomes a part of us, this is symbolised by the wires and plants extruding from the brain. The brain is placed in the hand to symbolise the way that all these decisions that can be made are in your hands. The future is in your hands and the past in your head.
