About the work
An installation employing diverse materials and fabrication techniques to articulate an ambivalent relationship between human bodies and technology.
Traditional materials - wood, cotton, bone glue, chalk and pigment - are confronted by plastic, aluminium alloys, steel and digital image processing. Organic forms collide with austere machine components.
Between reproductions of bones and organs and the operational radius of a robotic arm, a relationship of mutual inscription reveals itself. The objects appear abandoned; what remains are references to a human-adapted utility that seems irretrievably lost.
