Limbo consists of eleven sheets of yellow plastic safety mesh, suspended in a grid format to create a hanging sculpture. Limbo is a term often associated with an intermediate state or transitional situation characterized by uncertainty - an in-between, suspended state. Conceived during the Covid lockdown, the safety mesh recalls the temporary barriers that were imposed upon us all during this period describing the oppositional states of containment versus the protection afforded by the confinement to our homes. The yellow is a symbol of hope and sunlight.
