With this sculptural installation, my intention and concept is to express the instability of current times. We live in a time of instability on many levels - have seen dramatic climate disasters, wars, terrorism, financial uncertainty. This has had a global and domestic impact  - the instability and uncertainty means that there is less that can be relied on. This puts pressure on families and relationships. Life can change, what you think is real (wood) can turn out to be fake, cuts can appear - some cuts heal, some cuts lead scars that will never heal. Aswell as highlighting our communal angst, the sculpture can viewed to express individual struggle.

I chose to use linoleum for its connection to domestic and because it is recognisably connected to the floor which one expects to be stable. I sculpted the linoleum by hand-cutting so that it could manipulated and sculpted, allowing it to be draped. It resulted in a floor that is unsettled and bubbles up in turmoil. I chose a scale that would dwarf  and overwhelm the viewer. The work eludes to how people sometimes appear to be outwardly coping whilst their inner work is in turmoil. Sometimes You Dont See offers to provoke conversation and may give someone the opportunity to share their vulnerability.

A great spacial piece - a monumental twisting, bulging but effusive sculpture from fake wood Lino that was neatly lacerated.   newbloodart.com

Booth used linoleum for his sculptural installation at the prestigious Berkeley Square House, Mayfair after being selected by Artful. That sculpture was on show for 6 months. This time he chose to see a linoleum with a marble finish to reflect the real marble at the venue. Booth also created another linoleum sculpture using coloured stripes which was cut to create a visually glitched surface for flux exhibition at Truman Brewery, London.
