About this artwork
“I have been interested in architecture from a young age, I first came across Googie Architecture after visiting west coast of America some time ago and sine then began to research and become obsessed with this style of architecture and the architects that designed this style of buildings. The first thing that caught my attention was the bright colours the interesting shapes and the way they captured my attention each building was interesting and…
unique. My sculptures are not designed in a way that they look like a specific building, as an artist I take influences from these building and apply them to my work. I try to use the same principles that the architects used when designing these building, like the use of geometric shapes, bold colours, sweeping curves, and make the sculpture look as if it is defying gravity, my work is made with the intention of catching people’s attention and drawing people closer.”
