enclose.

Enclose is a hybrid womb-temple. Made of ceramic bricks on a rusted steel backing plate. The surfaces are painted and etched; oval apses are carved out of stratified clay. It is rich with the imprints of tools and moving sediment, like clues on an archeological site. The piece is about emigrant nostalgia and loss, exploring the longing to embed myself in the landscape of my homeland. A return to the earth I know so well.
