METAMORPHOSIS

Above, Metamorphosis sculptures, calico, jesmonite, net, polystyrene balls, grate polish,

variable dimensions, maximum H/W/D 100cm. 2014

This was part of a series of work about abstract repetition which considers Aristotle's concept that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts later discussed by Kate Armstrong in her text, Theory of Repetition in Art and Culture. By using repeated forms and processes, of deconstruction, the forms when put together undergo a process of metamorphosis and gradually evolve into something new.

Below - using non-biodegradable products such as polystyrene balls and netting to cast a form that is then deconstructed to reveal the polystyrene balls hidden in their centre. Some of the polystyrene balls are labouriously removed creating a pitted surface .The products used to create these sculptures, cause harm to our oceans and to sea- life. These inorganic materials are combined with jesmonite to create an organic looking formation reminiscent of bleached coral and comment on climate change.

Above, same processes repeated, using calico, jesmonite and grate polish . The form metamorphosizes into a mussel- like conglomeration.
