This piece is called Carbon Sink, by the UK artist, Chris
Dury. This sculpture is a giant 36 foot circular work made up of logs and lumps
of black coal. Chris approached this ideal from a environmental perspective
making a connection between the coal industry and dead trees. I like the way he
made the silvery logs look like something they are not. This piece gives me the thought of a
helicopter propeller or fan spinning really fast almost to the point that the
blades start to blur.
I
respect this piece and comprehend it in terms of coexistence by interpreting it
with parts relative to the term. The
fact you can tell manmade it is evident.
It is very large and involves parts in it that are from nature like logs
and coal and the ground it lays on. The
way it is shaped and the combination of materials, just its existence gives the
aurora of coexistence without literally having humans in it. I am inspired by
this concept and will explore it.
