37: Home Scar
A white sphere, the internal structure is made from locally sourced woven willow whips. The willow framework is coated in a layer of cob made from local materials, and the cob’s surface is rendered with lime mortar. An elliptical groove, a home scar, has been inscribed into the surface. The white render is burnished, giving it a slight sheen, apart from the elliptical indentation, which has been left slightly rough, and inoculated with locally occurring lichens. The spherical form of the sculpture symbolises the Earth, universe, or other spheres we inhabit, while the elliptical indentation represents a home scar.
