Goliath takes its name from the biblical giant, the Goliathus beetle and similarly named car models. The work emerges from the “need for speed” of advancing life.

Its mechanical structure is built around the tiny, suspended horns of the beetle. The form alludes to racing cars and their performative associations with strength, sexiness and masculinity.

The car-sized sculpture suggests a science-fiction, dystopian and Brutalist aesthetic, hovering above the ground as if ready to take off. Its understated colours and mixed textures allow it to coalesce with contemporary interiors while intensifying its ominous presence.
