BATTLE OF STILLNESS

$4,650

Description: Resin, butterfly, spider and moth specimens. Set of 3 BATTLE OF STILLNESS Battle of Stillness brings together butterflies, spiders and moths suspended within hand cast resin skateboard decks, each held in a moment of quiet tension. Delicate forms are fixed in place, turning movement into weight and softness into something solid. Layers of colour, depth and transparency surround the specimens, allowing their intricate structures to emerge as light moves through the resin. The familiar skateboard form, an object associated with movement and momentum, is transformed into something still and permanent. Rather than seeking spectacle, the works find strength in stillness and duration.
