VICTOR SEAWARD
Seaward is interested in the agency of things, their material history, and how our visual cultures interact. Mining a broad spectrum of our material cultures to create composite works. Seaward juxtaposes raw, functional materials, such as concrete, with high-tech industrial materials and objects of a historical significance to expose how social and cultural groups create meaning within the material world. The quantum tangle emitted a knot of structure sufficiently complex to reflect, not just the universe outside, but its own inner state.
“We’ve seen signs of nature restoring to its previous levels before the Anthropocene.”
