Joseph Beuys : Table with Accumulator 1958-85
In this work, an accumulator – a kind of rechargeable battery in which energy can be stored - is attached by wires to two pieces of clay, as if drawing power from the earth itself. For Beuys, the production and storage of energy was a metaphor for the creative and spiritual energy that he wanted to foster both in the individual viewer and in society as a whole. This was one of the works that Beuys included in the 1982 Zeitgeist exhibition, accompanying the various elements of Lightning with Stag in its Glare.

Stillness : Working environment at Chapel Arts Andover. #3
The drawing situation together with its materials act as an active threshold between now and from elsewhere.
Street rubbing from Andover town centre done in-situ with added astronomical data. Footprints drawn and represented in lead together with lead strips and masking tape. Installed and further acted upon in a temporal studio space set-up as a working inquiry between public space and that of a "practice"( the artist's domicile/thinking/working-out space).
