Spirals
2020
Marble pieces, swarf, cube pavers, variable dimensions
Spirals, an installation made with found marble fragments and iron filings, reconstructs two distinct forms of waste; industrial and artistic, within an eclectic sculptural language.
Expanding and adapting to each space, the work engages with the aesthetics of urban decay and the notion of verticality, often associated with phallic and architectural forms, through an organic approach.
The iron shavings produced by CNC and lathe machines are by-products of industrial processes, yet they resemble unintentional sculptures formed without intervention. Similarly, the residues removed during traditional sculpture-making carry comparable material and conceptual qualities.By bringing these two waste types into dialogue, Spirals searches for new formal and conceptual relationships between sculpture, architecture, and the city.
