The form of Beyond is reminiscent of Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty (1970), which was a prescient work that changed art’s relationship to the planet and to the wider world outside of the gallery. It resembles a circular path, which is generally the form that all journeys in life take. There is a sense of return, but also of forwarding movement. The use of flowers, leaves, and seashells in the work demonstrates the importance of the natural world in the artist’s own journey.
