Dragon skin, (2023)

Black polyurethane gun foam casts in 7 parts (each cast 52X35X15 cm), rubber, metal button.

Dragon Skin explores the fetishization of power. It presents the sole of a military boot, in an exaggerated, monstrous form, whereby a recognizable object transforms into a humorous snake-like, alien dragon skin. Made of polyurethane, the material is hard and toxic, yet flexible. Incorporating elements of both the industrial and the sensual echoes the grand structural undertakings aesthetically expressed with an unspoken sensuality.

DRAGON SKIN

Dragon Skin explores the fetishisation of power. It presents the sole of a military boot in an exaggerated, monstrous form, transforming a recognisable object into a humorous snake-like, alien dragon skin.

Made of polyurethane, the material is hard and toxic, yet flexible. Its industrial and sensual qualities echo the large structural undertakings of the artist’s practice, which are aesthetically expressed through an unspoken sensuality.
