The Bone People exhibition operates as a diorama featuring a herd of imaginary animals - some with riders. The Bone family are onlookers - either seated or standing on the side. Insects will also be included.
These handmade forms provide an intimate experience for the audience serving as portal into an alternative world, where one can interact with exotic marvels and improbable anatomy.
The sculptures are made from fish bones collected at the beach. The bones have been sterilized and bleached and then clay or textiles and glass or shell eyes have been added. The have wire armatures which make them able to stand alone.
On the back wall will be a series of digital photographs featuring the sculptures in an appropriate environment. This provides opportunities to distort the light and scale in order to emphasis the mystery and atmosphere of the scene. They are also featured in interiors or as a still life. Props are sometimes used to highlight and emphasize the character and quirky personalities of the figures or animals.
The concepts provide an intimate experience for the audience, operating as a portal to an alternative world where one can interact with the figures in strange juxtapositions.
