'Flying inside'

Fred 2007

 “Flying Inside” consists of a series of 13 discs that form a trail. Each disc is a circle with a silhouette of a universal adult body shape inside it, so that a multitude of people can pass through the work. “Flying Inside” invites the audience to pass through each disc with their arms outstretched. The journey is reminiscent of childhood and replicates the movement children make when they are pretending to fly.
“Flying Inside” is a playful piece of work; it uses a nostalgic movement to unify both generation and culture gaps.  “Flying Inside” links ephemeral emotions to the solid physical shapes formed by the sculpture.  “Flying Inside” plays on the idea that we can surpass our natural limitations through stimulating our imaginations.
