Above the Cliff Top forms part of an ongoing series of sculptures and drawings exploring the concept of Bounded Creativity — the idea that limits and constraints can both inhibit and stimulate creativity and innovation.

While constraints are often experienced as restrictive, this body of work considers how, when approached in specific and intentional ways, they can become a powerful pathway for accelerating creative thought and generating new opportunities.

In this sculpture, a grounded, compact base suggests containment, stability, and the safety of operating within known boundaries. Rising from it, a fine, linear element traces an upward and outward movement, appearing tentative yet determined. This gesture represents the moment when creativity, having been shaped and strengthened by constraint, reaches the critical point of transition.

Above the Cliff Top captures the psychological and creative tension of stepping beyond established limits — the moment where ideas formed within structure must leave the safety of constraint in order to be fully realised. It reflects the risk inherent in innovation: the leap from protected exploration into open, uncertain territory, where creativity must ultimately stand on its own.
