The sculptures in this exhibition are a series of related but unique steel and ferrocrete objects, some housing living plants, some entirely non-functional, representational on an abstract level.
Shadowing human imperfections and instability, they are cobbled together from the bits and pieces conditions provide. Subject to their environment, the materials from which they are constructed are both resistingly pliant and also rigid, relatively permanent, ultimately impermanent. Cobbled together, evolving through form, round and round.
I’m pleased to present this new work with paintings by Natalie as I see a point of convergence with regards to how we made this work – without foresight, just going, moving on, one thing leading to another, no clear end in sight, until finally, it has arrived.
