Broken under pressure

---

“Doppelgangers as reflections of the strong discordance of modernity as it speaks to our involvement with nature”

Broken under pressure was exhibited at Sloss Furnaces’ in Birmingham Alabama at the NCCCIAP (2019) Exhibition Heat Required. The work speaks to the on going tensions between human’s vision of nature and the natural in our quest to create a modern civilization. Broken under pressure consists of three works, all replicas of the same hazel wood branch harvested in Denmark in 2017, each branch consists of 2/3 cast metal and 1/3 cast glass.

1. cast bronze (dark patina) with cast black glass. 2. rusted cast iron with cast rhubarb glass (red and green). 3. cast aluminum with cast opalescence glass.

These works are playful acts of research into the notions and process of the cast object as a facsimile or copy of an ideal.
