Cecilia Davies

Cecilia has been exploring ideas of how global warming could impact our lives through an instant freeze. This project was inspired by the work done by the artists of the Cape Farewell project, who are trying to raise the public’s awareness to climate change through different forms of art media. The materials Cecilia has used to create her sculptures are paraffin wax, blue wax dye, various pieces of domestic furniture, and objects used around the home, mostly recycled. Wax is used to represent ice and snow textures: it bends and moves on its own like a frozen environment and it seems to gives her sculptures the sense of fragility. The furniture is used so people could relate to the objects and to create a sense of loss of the things we take for granted.
