Fine Arts

Delving into this paradoxical nature the Human Condition has unconsciously rendered as an apparent subject matter, this series of work aims to explore the depths of these mutually exclusive ideas between the Artificial versus the Organic. Focusing on the form and the immediate parallels within the human body that plastic figures present us with, the Organic is there to exploit these contradictions when merged with the manufactured inanimate.

Press(ed) Into Me specifically mimics the Artificial and the Organic – all at once. Cast from scale 1:1 inverted plastic mannequin heads, Press(ed) tantalises our human nature for connecting to the familiar by calling out to us through a distorted mimicked reflection. This unsettling resemblance calls into question our seemingly narrowed perception of the Artificial and the Organic - something that our preconceived notions have continually tainted when it comes to these two entities.
