NYCxDESIGNxSOUVENIR

Born Again Road Kill is a series of figurative bronze sculptures crafted from ‘accidental metals’ discovered on the streets of New York City. The sculpture will be exhibited in NYCxDESIGNxSOUVENIR May 15 - 21, 2025 as part of the city-wide NYCxDESIGN festival.

​

In my Born Again Road Kill (BARK) series, the ‘accidental metals’ are transformed into figurative sculptures. These sculptures oscillate between their mundane origins as mechanical parts and their new life as imagined characters. By chance, they endure vehicular impacts that distort their form and erase their intended functions.

 

Acting as an urban archaeologist, I discover and repurpose these materials into sculptural forms.This activity is integral to my daily life; as I roam New York’s streets, I peripherally search for these hidden gems, maintaining a spirit of play through this perpetual treasure hunt. This series showcases creativity as a transformative force, turning the trampled into the beautiful. It encourages viewers to engage more deeply with their surroundings. Ultimately, I aim for the audience to leave with a renewed appreciation for environmental sustainability and the untapped creative potential within our urban landscape.

Details coming soon on the exhibition location. In the meantime, consider participating in our pre-sale event. Only four sculptures will be in this limited edition!
