About The Laocoonic Labyrinth Sculpture Series . . . [ show / hide ]
Laocoonic Labyrinth takes inspiration from Virgil’s Aeneid and the Hellenistic sculpture of Laocoon and the serpent. The sculpture is maquette size in scale and is formed from deconstructed chain, reconstructed through welding to form a serpentine structure. “Taking a line for a walk” the form spirals around itself. The material is industrially made, yet through deconstruction the sculpture paradoxically becomes organic in form, therefore correlating to the inspiration.
