Hygres

The Hygres are sculptures that defy and hybridize earthly laws. Bilateral symmetry, a principle that governs the development of the majority of animal forms, is here applied to mineral forms. Crystals, rocks, and flows have been scanned, merged, and combined with morphogenesis algorithms that describe the development of animal organisms. Inert matter rearranges itself in a mirror, around a central axis, as if it were alive.

This symmetry allows the chaos to become readable and invites interpretation; the sculptures become the supports of a form of oracle or divination. The Hygres encourage surpassing earthly limits between organic and inorganic matter. Bearing new paradigms, the sculptures are ready to become what the observer wishes to see.
