Engine – the dissentient corpse
Kiln formed glass
120 H x 120 W x 5 D cm
Stepping into the complexity of human affairs, the dissentient corpse looks at the origins and meaning of moral principles. With the land in focus, an engine is constructed to which human behaviour is then subjected and evaluated.
Consequently, an essential beauty is found in the development of a personal identity that is both effective and evolutionary in will.
