About this artwork
This artwork is part of series sculptures that address the detritus we are leaving behind and the power of nature to transform, adapt and survive through its ingenuity, restoration and the reclamation of its landscape. 'Aqua Geode' addresses our alarming plastic waste, which is largely ending up in the oceans. A bottle lid cast in bronze shows a colony of barnacles taking over the inside space (obverse), making it their home and suggesting the lid…
has been discarded on the sea bed for some time. These barnacles are seen thriving and inhabiting this new space and in doing so they create a geode effect over the inside surface. The reverse shows the exterior of the bottle lid complete with all the original detail, including twist-off arrows and text. The lid and and barnacles are cast in bronze and delicately patinated in oceanic/crystaline colours, highlighting the transformation of this threatening waste into a beautiful ‘geode’ and unifying the two parts.
