Animated Earth
2016-now
Bronze, glass
95cm diameter
The Inca word for our living body is ‘Alpha Camasca’ or Animated Earth. The dodecahedral shape represents iconic fossils on each of the twelve sides of this cosmic dice. Some of which still have living descendants, others have gone extinct. The archaeopteryx in front. An exact copy of an early humanoid (homo habilis) skull on top for now and early bacterial life (stromatolites) at the bottom. Each could easily switch sides if we make it our destiny.

Giant Oceanic Manta 
2017
550x600x55cm
5500 stainless steel fishhooks 

This sculpture had to be made as manta’s and these mega earthlings in particular are so incredibly impressive and graceful. These gentle giants can have a wingspan of 7 meters! Like all marine megafauna they need our help since we lose too many of them as bycatch and their gills are worth a lot of cash.. just wanted to give a sense of wonder about what is still out there in the world🌍

Inside the studio: 2.7m Oceanic Whitetip Shark, 3.5m Great Hammerhead and the velvet flock Horseshoe Crab, just as the sharks a +-450mln year old evolutionary wonder. What makes a species successful over deep time and what is there to learn?

Title: Leatherback Turtle 
Year: 2019
Dimensions: 230x206x55cm
Material: +-4500 stainless steel longline fishhooks
Edition: 1/5

Photo by @nikedolman at the AMO Expo, Porto Cervo, Sardegna, Italy. 

This sculpture is an ode to the last marine megafauna. Leatherback sea turtles have always fascinated me. Their sheer size and vast migrating patterns, ancient lineage, their conservation status due to many things (unfortunately plastic bags resemble their staple diet of jellyfish) and their utter prehistoric appearance. This gorgeous beast simply had to be made into a sculpture..
