Kanneliya, 2011
Hand cut white felt, LED lights, Perspex box, 190 x 130 x 12 cm

The starting point of this work is taken from the Palm Oil plantations in Sri Lanka highlighting the balance and equilibrium within the surrounding rainforest. In the fight between the natural habitat and the commercialisation of land, areas of harmonisation and coexistence exist. It is these places of apparent spiritual silence that the work echoes. A moment in time is faithfully recreated and preserved in a hand cut work, which glows to reflect the energy and light of an ephemeral, tranquil world.
