| Seed Poddlings, Polycaprolactone* |
My practice is predominantly based around the wonders of science and nature. I am very much interested in the curiosity and intensity of the sensation experienced by the viewer through the use of an unfamiliarity and surreal medium.
The Properties and nature of my medium is integral in informing the strange intrinsic biomorphic forms that make up my sculptures.
Theses white polymorphic sculptures are my personal and unique expression of a smart material with reflects upon the beauty and simplicity of forms found in nature and also the wonders of science that allow for investigations into the curious and new wondrous creations such as the medium itself.
I start my sculptures with a certain structural idea in mind, with a particular notion or concern that I wish to address, but, inevitably, the polymorph medium takes on a life of its own.
About "Seed Poddlings"
This wall hanging taxonomy of miniature sculptures consists of my personal abstract interpretations of seeds, plants and pollens under a high power microscope. Besides the unusual and complex organic structures of these capsules of life under at an intimate visual level, there was also the notion of vast seed banks around the world which seek to preserve species and fail safe our fauna in times of crisis for the future which inspired this piece.
