INSECTS

Insects represent my perception of primeval shapes, their geometry and presence in nature. In this instance I am trying to see through the nature of substance – metal in this case – which for me is ancient and cosmic. Its unison in discrepancy of imperfect objects, which I am transforming into a perfect form to serve the new idea. Each of these creations is more mechanical than biological and have to pass a final test of resistance. They must resist the author’s weight without becoming distorted and resist time and all its cruelty. The resistance of work itself is very important to me.






BIPED


Sculpture is an idea based on the mutation of all possible and impossible living matter and technological devices. Biped is a mutation, a television-man-chicken-insect. The eye of this BIO-Machine is a television cathode, the legs that of a human on steroids, finishing with chicken feet. Out of this come insect-like wings, which are reservoirs and the back of the body is also in the shape of an insect.

Biped takes a critical look at genetic experiments performed on animals and plants and looks at how man can play God, but is ill-equipped to deal with the unforeseen consequences. The installation attempts to give the observer a full sensory experience, different from framed points on a ‘neutral’ wall, or an isolated object on a pedestal. This leaves space and time as the only dimensional constants and implies dissolution of the line between art and life. The interactive design has been built by Marko Simic, a programme that helps Biped to watch and recognise people.
