The mushroom forest

This project is mainly focussed on light and movement. The mushrooms are made from foam, cotton pads, woodpaste and different types of paper wrapped in cling film. All these materials catch and reflect light in different ways, making the mushrooms look complex without using much color in the materials themselves.

Sol

Sol is a collage of paper pieces, animated to show a personification of the sun gently floating in a lake. Using seperate pieces of paper not only allows for the movement of reflections on the water, but also creates an interesting separation between blue light on the water, reflected from the color of the sky, and red light radiated from the figure and spread out in the lower layers of the water.

The sun has been worshipped across the centuries, often seen as a powerful God responsible for life on earth. In this illustration the sun is a presence brought down to earth, blending in with the planet it gives life.

Uncanny valley

Starting out as a static sculpture, this piece evolved to turn into a functional robot as an exploration of the uncanny valley. The sound of the yellow calcite teeth clicking together combined with the loud humming of the motor give the robot an intimidating presence.

The Artificial Womb

The video on the right is only a section of the video. Watch the full version here.

A sculpture of a foetus in a womb is surrounded by warm orange light, dimmed in the rhythm of a heartbeat. The video portrays an artificial womb, designed to replace a human one. The womb is shown with some humor and without making a judgement on the subject, allowing the viewer to form both their own questions and answers.
