| Sue Sharples BA (Hons) Fine Art |
Sue Sharples work is concerned with evolution, provocative defence systems and the primal instinct for survival achieved via diversity and adaptation. Repetition is a constant element in the work: repetition within diversity and diversity within repetition. She creates hybrid sculptural forms exposing a glimpse of evolutionary fantasy, suggesting relationships between ancient organisms and their modern descendants. Their ambiguity reflects cultural, social and environmental concerns of identity, protection, genetic engineering and global warming. Viewed from a playful perspective, they transform a materials utilitarian functionality into organic mythical forms linking prehistoric with futuristic. The work is executed through the appropriation of material and skills generally used within the construction, engineering and craft industries. |
