I am very excited to announce that I will be representing the UK at the World Expo in Dubai this year. I will be creating a new work inside the beautiful Es Devlin designed UK Pavilion. This will be a live installation even over 10 days in November offering visitors a front row seat to the creative process. The artwork will be on display in the UK Pavilion in Dubai until March 2022.

About the work
“The sculpture is created from suspended fragments, which form a delicate hourglass shape. I often use this shape in my sculpture to symbolise important moments and turning points. In this work it also references the tipping point which we are fast approaching with our environment, and I hope that the audience will think about sustainability, balance, and regeneration. The artwork also seeks to highlight the connection between present and future actions, and how everything is interconnected in virtuous or vicious cycles. This opportunity is meaningful for me - not only because of the honour to be selected for the UK pavilion, but also because the theme resonates powerfully with the soul of my artwork, and the reason why I chose this path.”
The UK Pavilion has been conceptualised and designed by Es Devlin OBE with global brand experience specialists, Avantgarde and will showcase British innovations set to change the world, from artificial intelligence and space technology to sustainable food and fashion. The UK’s participation theme is ‘Innovating for a Shared Future’.
