About the Artwork:

'Constellation' is an artwork that celebrates community, diversity and family. My aim was to assemble a bod of independent elements that were unique and could be related to in a series of body-like forms. Each element has its own point of difference in size, gesture and pattern. The integrity of the installation comes in to being when the individual elements come together to form a group. The configuration of the work is such that there is no beginning and end and the number of participants in the group is not exclusive. My main thought with this work was that it should convey openness and inclusion whilst maintaining the dignity of the individual.” – Deborah Edwards
