Asteroid I

Asteroid Series

Asteroid I explores the quiet relationship between celestial events and the natural world. Inspired by the idea of fragments travelling across time and space, the work combines reclaimed driftwood gathered from Scotland's coastline with weathered steel, beach bone and layered acrylic to create a composition that feels both ancient and contemporary.

Each element has been shaped by its own journey. Driftwood carries the marks of the North Atlantic, weathered by decades of tides and storms, while the rusted steel and organic forms suggest fragments brought together through chance, erosion and time.

Rather than depicting an asteroid literally, the sculpture invites the viewer to consider the unseen connections between the cosmos, the oceans and the landscapes that continue to shape our planet. The work remains open to interpretation, encouraging reflection on origin, transformation and the enduring passage of time.
