FANTASY OF NATURE
Birds of the Sea
Fiberglass casting, 2015
AMANDA, EMILIO and ALDO
The choice of artificial and industrial materials, for example colors used for cars and plastic, intensify the sense of the strangeness and foreign feeling of the images. These materials create contrasts not only in the context of terms like “natural” and “organic” materials, but also in regard to traditional materials such as marble, bronze and wood which are usually used in classical sculpture. In this respect, the sculpture is somewhere between the past and the future. It flaps its wings in its journey from the figurative sculpture to the industrialized estranged world of the here and now that we live in.
