Description/Abstract:

All of the work is manufactured using recycled and sustainable methods of making, I have collected both natural and manmade materials and used them in juxtaposition to generate a vocabulary within the work, and my use of the formal aspects of the iconic architectural Pagoda reflects the conspicuous consumption that our society produces. I intend the sculpture to identify notions of the classicism of consumption, ostentation and material value centred upon a cultural and spiritual identity The sculpture will capture classical form made from the used and useless, discarded relics of mass consumption-unwanted building materials-. My engagement with the urban environment is through witnessing how our buildings are subject to environmental changes. The sculpture admits to the fascination of the material objects but ask us to question the depth and consistency of values.
