Humankind
A meditation on the state of humankind today. We imagine a museum or gallery, a repository of history and learning. This is filled with sculptural representations of humanity, designed to illustrate the best and worst aspects of ourselves, and functioning as an honest reflection of global society. Modern subjects are mixed with classical sculptural forms, and the suspended animation of sculpture kindles poignant evaluation of our current position on humanity’s short timeline. Subjects balance positive and negative, with themes of love, death, war, learning, ingenuity, destruction, classical history and technology all featuring, approached in a spirit of seriousness and honesty.
