“For more than forty five years, I have been concerned with objects that come into contact with and interact with the body.  Recurrent themes are the boundaries of an individual or object; be that between surface and interior, presence and absence, public and private, or the definition of a sense of territory and personal space. The work has also explored outer extents of the body as seen through light, shadows, reflections and movement. Larger scale and collaborative working with ideas about space and boundaries between people develop atmospheres that elicit subjective, emotional responses.” (Caroline Broadhead)
