Time Has Wings

Strange to imagine, is that our lives are finite, when all we've ever known is to live...

'Time Has Wings,' (a variation of the saying 'time flies'), is a body of work that focuses on what is of deep value to us in life.

Handmade sculptures and natural materials (most of which were foraged), form the aesthetic foundations of the series. Every element was hand arranged by the artist on set. Each concept was crafted to share a message, took weeks to complete and was created with love for detail. Layered symbolism allows each piece to share it's story, with many of the artworks containing hidden elements that await discovery.

The 'wings of time' are represented in each artwork by some form of moth. Short-lived, they represent reaching fullness of potential and maturity. Additionally, moths orient themselves by the source of light in the darkness, symbolising the pursuit of illumination and good.

Presenting topics such as love, identity, legacy and hope, 'Time Has Wings' invites us to examine our priorities and refocus on what is paramount—with the time we have.
