Artists use smell as a sculptural medium to extend on the concept of mortality and impermanence. As a highly nuanced sense, with an enormous capacity to trigger human emotions, they work to evoke memories and arouse individual and shared histories.

The allusive question, rarely answered honestly and asked to all artists- ‘What inspired this work?’ What was the starting point? An artist has the rare power to ascribe meaning and value to absolutely anything they choose; the art is in how convincing and captivating they are in the act of communicating and celebrating it.

Delicious and sweet. Provocative. Disgusting subject matter. Courting controversy. Feminism in sugar. Craft used in contemporary discourse. Abject and absurd.

Humans are not alone in our collective social behaviour. From swarms of social insects, murmurations of birds, to molecular movements, swarming behaviour underlies nearly everything. We are also seeing swarm algorithms driving our future lives, in which we will see swarms of drones and nanorobots helping (or hindering) the very essence of what it means to be human.

‘A lump of volcanic rock in the middle of nowhere. It is worth wondering why we are so eager to construct hierarchies of place, where certain suburbs are reduced to their worst features at the expense of the people who live there. Communities are, after all, inherently multidimensional.’

"The hands may almost be said to speak. Do we not use them to demand, promise, summon, dismiss, threaten, supplicate, express aversion or fear, question or deny? Do we not use them to indicate joy, sorrow, hesitation, confession, penitence, measure, quantity, number, and time? Have they not the power to excite and prohibit, to express approval, wonder, shame?” Quintilia
