Up/Down are two sculptural pieces which are made by digging downwards(down)/upwards(up) through a solid block of clay until the bottom/top were reached.
'Down' is white and is suspended perfectly from the celing with its tip touching the ground. When closer to the pieces you can see that the inital non formative shapes are actually knees and marks created by the artist as she dug through the clay, giving this piece more than a mathematical and visual aesthetic.
The same is done in the piece 'Up' which is painted black in reference to the darkness that the artist encountered whilst creating the piece. 'Up' seems to be less rousing perhaps due to its normative spatial presence beside the suspended 'Down' piece or perhaps the colour drowns out the contrast and sharpness which is present in 'Down' and it's clarity.
