STONE PAPER SCISSORS is three plinth mounted sculptures infront of a large wall-mounted photograph.
STONE PAPER SCISSORS represents the contemporary global challenges with competing energy sources and resources.
Using the traditional playground game of STONE PAPER SCISSORS, the 'Stone' represents coal power, 'Paper' wind power and the 'Scissors' nuclear fission.
In this version of the game, akin to the energy debate, nobody effectively wins and the accompanying sculptures reflect this in their choice of materials. The 'Scissors' are laser cut from a block of coal, the 'Paper' is made form a perforated and lined sheet of steel and the 'Stone' is formed into a block of paper.
Behind the three sculptures presented on high plinths, a photograph depicts electric pylons in conflict with a shrinking natural woodland.
