BIOMECHANICAL EVOLUTION #107

by Christyn Overstake
ARTIST STATEMENT

My work is about contemporary labor. This abstraction is based on the subversion of production manufacturing. The objects are produced in industrial media by repetition of form and action, paralleling mass-produced objects I fabricated in the industry as a welder/fabricator. The outcomes of this repetition are not in pursuit of the perfection of sameness but of deviation. Each repetition of the process yields a new and unpredictable result, allowing the forms to adapt and evolve over generations, injecting playfulness and embracing the unexpected. This large, fabricated aluminum structure is constructed from scavenged and re-fabricated elements from previous works, serving as a physical evolution of its less successful predecessors
