Description:
White birthday candle carved with a spiral of step-like crenulations. Artists’ statement: ‘We (…) are twin sisters and work collaboratively with a wide range of media, including sculpture, photography and video. In our practice, through a manipulation of scale, everyday object and environments are transformed (…) This convergence of the vast and the minute, the familiar and the unexpected, questions the spatial and ontological distances between people and their environment.’
