"Which Way to Go?"

This evocative glass sculpture represents a poignant interaction between nature and humans. A haunting depiction of the Suffolk coast, the inner layer represents the shape of part of the Sizewell nuclear power station, overlaid on the outer dome by etched shorebirds and the characteristic reeds of the unique natural habitats at Walberswick and Minsmere. The outline of a wind turbine may also be seen, along with a small depiction of the power station itself. The translucent layers allow these elements to be viewed together, the natural and the man-made overlapping.

The title of this sculpture, 'Which way to go?', may not only be a reference to the direction the birds are flying; it also suggests a choice for humanity - how we choose to treat the natural world and which way we go in our efforts at co-existence with it.

If successful this depends on achieving a balance, which as the medium of glass implies, is fragile. In this context, the delicate silhouettes of birds and reeds contrast ominously with the looming power station, implying a co-existence that, though maintained at present, has potential for disastrous fracture, with dire consequences for the environment.
