The first in a series exploring mass manufacturing techniques with references to a bygone regency industrial era of power and mass production. The plates are a cross over from more performative works in the past. Each bowl has been punched repeatedly with force.
The decals are symbols from Britains past - the rise and fall of smaller empires and brands and adverts from instagram.
The work forms a sculpture unpicking utilitarian forms; a question for the time we live in.

Sam Taylor's early works were based heavily in performance. Exploring themes of class, mysticism and womanhood.
She would evoke spirits that 'created the internet' imagining a new history to creation. Using her voice and repeated rituals to replicate electric sounds from computers, trains and modern life.
A conversation between the machine and flesh which has recently led to machine and the earth.

Medieval detail
The first series of Lions often have references to English identity, monarchy and it's bizarre and often wreckless history.
