Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract sculptural piece features a combination of natural and industrial materials. The central wooden form is reminiscent of a horseshoe crab, with its curved shape and protruding appendages. The wooden body is attached to a blue, fabric-like structure, creating an intriguing contrast between organic and synthetic elements. The artist has employed a unique assemblage technique, juxtaposing diverse materials to evoke a sense of whimsy and unexpected juxtaposition. The work invites the viewer to consider the relationship between natural and man-made forms, as well as the creative potential of repurposing everyday objects. ...

Josephine Baker

B.1990, British

Josephine Baker (b. 1990, London, UK) completed her undergraduate studies at Central Saint Martins in London in 2012, and her postgraduate in 2017 at the Royal Academy Schools, London.  For Josephine, making sculptures is like writing alternative physical stories to those with which we fabricate our world. Industrially-processed and altered almost beyond recognition, the materials she uses are reconfigured and reimagined, in a challenge to the capitalist trajectories that have produced them. In reclaiming the depiction of landscape and natural phenomena from its cooption into imperialist narratives, different realities are allowed to take shape. ...
