technological ecosystems Sculpture

Through my practice I use the media of sculpture and print to question how we look at the world. I am interested in making images and objects that generate visual complexities, using artefacts from the landscape to evoke the effects of geological change and combine these with different plastics and man-made materials to create a visual metaphor for the Anthropocene. Understanding our own relationship with the planet is important and my work opens up these dialogues through hybrid constructs. I make formed forensic artificial ecosystems to show synthetic and organic materials in conjunction, dissecting the interaction between natural processes, geological time and human activity. I want my work to demonstrate growing concerns over destructive and polluting activity, questioning our awareness and impact on a global and individual level, however, rather than being overtly politicised the work hopes to engage debate through the use of material and aesthetic in an investigative way.
