***Sheet Metal, Rivets. [12” x 11” x 18”]*** *This project was first exhibited in 2015 in Boulder, Colorado.* *Prints available on request. DM for inquiries on the sculpture.* --- ### Artist Statement **Organimetal: Where Industry Meets Nature** ***Organimetal*** examines the paradoxical relationship between human industry and the natural world, reflecting on humanity’s dual role as both creator and disruptor. **This work fuses bold industrial materials, such as sheet metal and rivets, with an organic form, evoking the tension between the rigid, mechanical qualities of human innovation and the fluid, unpredictable patterns of nature.** > At the heart of this sculpture lies a critique of the way human industry often seeks to dominate the natural world while still drawing inspiration from it. The form’s flowing, natural curves juxtapose the cold, utilitarian surface of the metal, highlighting this inherent contradiction. The industrial materials, traditionally associated with mass production and control, are reimagined here as part of a delicate, organic structure, prompting viewers to question the impact of industry on the Earth. This sculpture serves as both an artistic exploration and a personal milestone. It represents my second foray into metalworking and the first piece to ignite my love for the medium. **As viewers engage with Organimetal, they are encouraged to reflect on their own perceptions of progress, balance, and the unintended consequences of our attempts to shape the world around us**. --- ### Photos         --- ### Other Sculptures by Hes [Quarantine [2016]](https://hes.npub.pro/post/1709006098404/) --- #### More from Hes [Art](https://hes.npub.pro/tag/art/) [Store](https://plebeian.market/p/517d6542a081d61ecd8900ad9e2640290e2cf06f516c5e5f3edadfbde446bff4/stall/1db0cdfe0e39c4bd81b903902eeda74e6aa0f0b56e30851f327e6d0c292c5c06) [Travel Guides](https://hes.npub.pro/tag/travel/) [Photography](https://hes.npub.pro/tag/photography) --- *All images are credit of Hes, but you are free to download and use for any purpose.
