Eleana 1
2026
Undefined
Sourced from parts of Eleana, a 1962 Wayfarer sailing dinghy with a decades long history in and around Falmouth. Its yellow and red surfaces bring the boat’s interior and exterior together, preserving the paint, wear and repairs accumulated over decades. Cut and reassembled over months in the studio, these materials take on the form of a directional marker. The piece bears evidence of journeys already made, while leaving any future destination unresolved.
Waymarker 2

Direction without destination
Made from parts of a single, unnamed sailing boat, with its existing black paint and worn surfaces left intact. The form slowly emerged through repeated cutting, fixing and rearranging, finding a balance between the boat’s materials and the familiar structures of signposts and navigational markers. It carries the history of a vessel that once moved through the water into an object that now stands still. Its pointers give no directions; the journeys belong to the material.
Waymarkers
Made from individual, dismantled sailing boats, the Waymarkers retain the colours, scars and wear of their previous journeys. Each Waymarker’s visible surfaces come from a single boat, with its existing paint left intact. Inside and outside are brought into view together, including repairs and roughly painted surfaces once hidden inside lockers or behind bulkheads.
The forms develop through repeated cutting, joining and rearranging, and long periods spent looking. Deciding which surface to reveal is part of finding the balance. The hidden structure changes with the work, using timber from that boat alongside other available wood.
