Beautiful Sludge. 2016 ( Liquid Test )
Painted timber, polished chrome, mechanical elements, liquid dispenser, paddling pool
As current artist in residence at Manchester School of Art I am exploring the human impact on the natural world in response to the evolutionary phenomena of the Peppered Moth at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
The work draws influence from the effects of the industrial revolution on the pigment mutation in the Peppered Moth. The mechanical device excretes black sludge at regular intervals into the paddling pool below. Questioning the potential future impact of contemporary living on the environment.
