Cheeseburn – Exhibition
Cheeseburn are holding an exhibition showing the shortlist of artists in the run for North East Young Sculptor of the Year Award. The artists (including myself) were given £300 to develop a proposal for a sculpture that would be installed in the grounds of Chesseburn. All the proposed artworks have their own identity and all show potential to win. Excluding my own entry, my favourite piece is by Anthony Hensman, with his proposal discussing the link between the physical world and the theoretical space. Hensman aims to install a series of concrete doorways, all barely within touching distance, and the inside layered with polished copper plates. This doorway is to create a link, a portal our conscious perception, the natural world, and a plausible infinity.

Cheeseburn – North East Young Sculptor of the Year Award
I entered a competition back in November last year for a chance to win £5000 to build a sculpture for the grounds of Cheeseburn. Around Christmas time I got an email saying that I was one of the nine people that had got short-listed for the competition. When the new year came round, I was given £300 to research, design and construct my proposal idea for what I wanted to build if I was to win. Now, there is an exhibition on at Cheeseburn containing all the short listed artists proposals.
My proposal is to create a large perspex structure that will dominate the space, and will be an almost alien sight on the grounds at Cheeseburn. Whilst the sculpture will dominate the space, I want to encourage the visitors to take a closer look at the structure and discover the 3D printed objects displayed within. These 3D printed objects will consist of alien like devices and shapes, while some will be representations of the grounds themselves.
The winner will be chosen on 30th May 2016. To vote for your favourite, follow the link that will take you to the facebook voting.
