Sculptural work madefrom wire, Modroc and coloured wax. 100cm in height, presented in a darkened room, hung and lit from within. Monoprint as a two dimensional represntation.
This sculpture has influences from various artists which have been exhibited at the local Yorkshire Sculpure Park, including Yinka Shonibare and Jaume Plensa. The intention behind the piece was to shock and scare viewers with grotesque imagery, provoking thoughts regarding the calamitous impacts of oil spills, particularly the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill. Themes such as reflection, responisbility and regret are explored through the implication that human actions are ultimately detrimmental the themselves, as well as the surrounding envirnment.
