Working with materials as varied as leather, pearls, copper, wax and artificial trees “When the Quarry Calls’ conjures a sense of imagined yet dislocated landscapes that seemingly oscillate somewhere between utopian and uncertain identities. While these works contrive to suggest strange, dream like, destinations, they also assume a series of metaphorical complexities through surprising context or setting. Permeating the work are notions of escape, longing, desire and possible places sought in order to find relief or refuge.
