Cast in bronze, Shimmer and Borrowed Breath are infinitely re-mouldable yet can remain unchanged for millennia. Based in Suffolk, Edwards was the first artist to present their work on Lowestoft Beach, with his Large Chthonic Head (2023) and Walking Men series (2018-22) drawing an international audience of over 40,000 people.
These works originate in the wax state of the bronze casting process, a territory Edwards has made uniquely his own.
They speak to the sense of light as matter entering and exiting the physical presence of the figure as a volume. They evoke the sense of ephemerality, a sort of visual translucency of the present, the past and forthcoming.
