10 years of dust

After hiatus from making, these new works from the artist are the accumulation of thoughts and experiences from over the last 10 years. Responding to notions of isolation, discomfort, attachment, and seemingly inanimate objects, Raffan often utilises up-cycled and found materials whilst also working in specific locales.
