'Tribute to HGH'






'Tribute to HGH' is a reflective and commemorative piece, that acts as a monument to my time in Germany and to the home that I built for myself whilst there. After I deconstructed 'Haus Grosse Haus' I retained materials from the installation and constructed them into a sculpture that would resemble the previous work, but signify it's death. The point of constructing it and installing it in the exact location as it's predecessor, was intentional and relevant for the meaning of the piece, although I realise that since both were in my studio space this is an obvious pattern. The idea is something that I retain however. I like the notion of creating a work, exhibiting it, dismantling it and then creating a piece using the materials from the previous work into a new piece and exhibiting that. Here I have done that to some extent, but in the future it is a process that I may investigate further.
