Artist Statement
My current practice explores the use of industrial materials and objects to create sculptures that play on structures and forms found in nature, producing uncanny combinations and juxtapositions. Metamorph draws visual and functional comparisons between man-made and natural forms, taking inspiration from natural storage organs such as tubers and root vegetables. The sculpture has been created from a compressed gas cylinder, resulting in a mutation of form, transgressing from man-made industrial object to seemingly organic root forms.
