Agriculturally Brutalism

Spending time in the countrysides of Europe I became obsessed with the blocky rude forms that make up our agricultural landscape. Enormous drums and cylinders connected by spindly arrow straight flying corridors and conveyor belts. I was living in a brutalist building estate at the time and sharing my home with many mice. This led to me starting to think of these brutalist places as being just as much homes from city animals as for humans. I started to think of mankind as a type of coral or rainforest in which other animals build their lives on our frameworks. This led to a series of sculptures that were meant to act as animal homes. Birds could live in churches, mice in factories. I wanted to play with the scale that the animals that lived in these new homes occupied. Doorways built for their height are not human.
