We are only human (Incomplete sculpture for Scarborough to be finished by snow), 2022
A 1:1 scale sculpture of a form called a Dolos, originally designed to act as a beach defence against coastal erosion, recreated in low carbon concrete. A computer model of the Dolos was treated with an algorithm that simulates snowfall. The mass of snow that accumulated on the Dolos was then subtracted from the mass of the original form, leaving a seemingly half finished or eroded sculpture, which can only be completed with the addition of snow in the real world.
Permanently installed at Scarborough Castle, UK.
Commissioned by Wild Eye.
