Wall sculpture constructed using carved mycelium and found objects - halogen bulbs - and paint. Mycelium is an amazing new 100% compostable material technology with a growing range of potential future uses. It can be grown naturally to any size and shape. One initial early stage use is as product packaging to replace heavily polluting plastic materials such as polystyrene. Whilst this use is a fantastic and positive move, unfortunately many of the products and objects being packaged in mycelium are not so positive. For example non recyclable phones and electronics, and chemical based products etc. This sculpture aims to highlight this ironic situation. The mycelium packaging is holding halogen (Halo) bulbs which are not recyclable due to their toxic chemical and material contents. It could be argued that Mycelium is being used by some product manufacturers to put a 100% compostable ‘halo’ around their not so recyclable products. What do you think?

Chris is a professional artist based in the UK, producing artwork including Drawing, Sculpture and Photography. His work investigates the relationship between Humans and Creativity / Innovation. It is often informed by exploring ideas of increasing transitions and states of flux caused by rapidly growing volumes of change, and the resulting typical current responses to this, which demand constant creative and innovative human responses. It is also informed by exploring human responses to creativity and innovation, which come in many forms, and which appear to transform and translate subtly over time. Works can sometimes be a response to a range of potential triggers, capturing his immediate personal reactions to a wide range of contemporary events, found objects, materials, words and phrases, concepts and places and people he encounters. Chris attempts to combine his personal reactions, commentary and resulting storylines, with experimentation on how to effectively visually represent them, embedding this within the materiality of the artworks themselves. This often includes using found object deconstruction and re-purposing/recycling techniques, which challenge the current use or typical representations of the chosen physical objects or concepts. When existing objects, concepts or ideas are deconstructed or questioned, and then uniquely combined and reconstructed, they can convey very different and powerful images and messages.
