Sculpture, polystyrene on Other
Size: 110.2 W x 82.7 H x 110.2 D in
i created this sculpture as part of my degree show exhibition at Bucks New University. The work is based on the burnt dead trees that I saw on a visit to the area north of Skradin where the war was fought. I named the work 'Ne Prilazite' referring to the text on signs in the area warning of land mines. The subject of the work is not only the devastation of the war in Croatia but more broadly the devastation man has wrought on the natural world through environmental disasters as well as war. Since I created this work in 2009 the world situation has only gotten more cricical.

I think of myself as a humanist, an artist whose practice is fully engaged in the real world. I see my studio practice as a way of trying to come to terms with that reality and as a vehicle to share my response with others. I grew up in the Cold War world of the Cuban missile crisis, the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War and the Nixon impeachment. As a child I would climb up into the tree tops seeking a refuge and a sanctuary. Since the end of the Cold War, I have watched the world descend into political, economic and environmental chaos; I see the natural world which I always believed would persevere threatened by man's actions. Many wonder what the role of an artist is in such circumstances. I believe that we cannot depend on 'those who are supposed to take care of us'. I believe that we each have to take some personal responsibility by doing whatever we can. I want to create strong, powerful images which will have an emotional and physical effect on the viewer. I hope that my work can in some way make viewers more aware of their place as part of the natural world.
