Voices of Richard III 2024

Incorporating earth samples as material ingredients throughout, these objects are tangible essences of a man who has existed as both a living being in the past and a fragmented memory in the future.
Like the ‘voices’ and symbolic legacy of King Richard III, they appear as ceremonial fossils, unearthed and fractured. They are cold, fragile, trampled and battle worn. Ambiguous, visceral, strange. Evolving. Each is a tactile piece of evidence or specimen of both a crowned and empowered yet fragmented and anguished persona. Making us experience history through sensory objects.
