Bronze.
2014. 2015.

Our desire to habituate and control all that is found rather than created by us leads us to alter, destroy or attempt to eternalise. Historically bronze has been a cultural marker of decadence and power, being a medium reserved for classical portraits and religious monuments. When we deem an object worthy of a material we are tying a level of importance to it.

The seemingly inconsequential fragments of life in the form of decaying flora and wood, have been elevated in importance, perhaps to the status of a human. Yet they are a part of the constant appropriation of the natural world unfolds in the modern day.
