About the art
Artist statement
Stool, from the series Fractions.
In collaboration with Daniel Durnin for Horror Show, where 16 RCA graduates used the 200 year anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to produce new work by responding to Frankenstein’s narrative.
Dr. Frankenstein’s own hand created the monster.
It is within this context that fractions seek to explore the hyperobject that is global warming. The effects of this change can be seen the world over, and is far more substantial than the local manifestations that it produces.
Fractions, a series of three objects, looks at the changes in our environment and using data from scientific research has presented it in the form of percentages within the objects themselves.
From loss of overall tree coverage 50%, increase (stool)
in greenhouse gases 40% (vase) to the Polar cap ice water in sea levels rising 20%. (tray)
