Urban Monolith
02.03.22 – 19.03.22
The focus of this body of work, Urban Monolith is to honour the foundational materials which form the structures that have housed us for millennium. These ancient and rudimentary mediums exist to be often overlooked and consequently neglected by human consciousness both within artistic spheres and everyday life. To maximise engagement with the work, there will be a clear path dictated by the strategic placement of the free-standing sculptures. Within this same space, the raw minimalism of each piece will be further exemplified by complementary structures, showcasing each material through manipulating simplicity, to highlight the qualities of the individual mediums. Whilst these forms isolated from one another may appear rudimentary, by utilizing placement within the gallery space as a form of narration I aim to challenge the parochial view through the climactic grandeur of a piece that champion the materials that formulate it.
