SPECTRAS
The Spectra series consists of sculptures that evoke abstract hybrid bodies. They are human/animal/plant/mineral; sentient and non-sentient, mobile and static, digital and analog, real and artificial. In this sculpture each chamber contains combinations of living, organic and artificial materials calling into question what is real.
