I feel dimensions of shadows would add to the ambiguity onstage, and so would like to include a sculptural piece that enhances the atmosphere.

I was thus interested in the way in which Parker's Cold Dark Matter produced beautiful shadows when a spotlight is placed at its centre. When drawing up my plan of the set design, I will try to include this work to add another element to the atmosphere onstage.

Parker's piece is an exploded view of a garden shed; the miscellaneous items allude to a sense of pandemonium further that is reiterated throughout the play, and the locating of this particular piece would ultimately hold as central metaphor for this unnerving sense of something scattered and hap-hazardous. The erratic nature of the characters is reflected in the disorderly form of the sculpture.

The sense that a split second of time (when the shed explodes) has been captured and preserved holds further parallels to the nature of the play.
