Trace is a wall based plaster sculpture constructed from segments of the sculpture Fuse that was first shown at Chichester Cathedral in 2022 as part of an exhibition called Together we Rise with members of the Royal Society of Sculptors. After Fuse was shown in two other locations, and deliberated weathered outside for a winter, it was deconstructed in the studio. The recovered sections of body cast, now aged and coloured, have now been reconfigured into the triptych Trace.

The sculpture contains traces of the original casts in Fuse and traces of its triptych structure as well. The elements have been allowed to make their mark, further ageing the surface of body casts that already recorded the ageing of the artists from whom the plaster sections were taken from.
