HELD IN IRON

ACRYLIC & MINERAL AGGREGATES & SALT ON CANVAS I 120 X 100CM

Held in Iron explores the tension between endurance and collapse. Iron oxide, salt and mineral aggregates form a dense, weathered surface drawn from the Pilbara. A fissure strains under pressure, threatening to break the work apart, yet it holds.

Born from grief, displacement and unresolved pain, the work considers endurance without release. It is not about overcoming grief, but surviving its pressure—continuing to hold when something within threatens to give way.
