Description: | Platter, one of the 'places of atmosphere' series, explores Kirk's interest in the environment The Northumbrian coast is explored and reflected in the blue glass and slate piece. The glass is used to provoke feelings of the depth and volume within the sea, echoing the beauty, strength and power of the sea it is curving in shape and is extremely fragile. It is rough to touch and irregular as though naturally produced. The platter rests delicately on the slate which is irregular in appearance and looks a little like driftwood at first glance. The slate reflects the depths of the unknown and unseen. The combination of the two objects illustrates concerns within balance, harmony and connection.
