House at the Waters Edge No 5
A house at the waters edge is slowly returning to dust. Steelwork is being corroded by salt spray and colonised by sea life. The blackened timber house has been engulfed by fire, somehow the plastic remains virtually intact.
House at the Waters Edge No 5 by Michael Green
56cm x 16cm x 43cm high
21st Century
Sculpted from Birch, Larch and Spruce boat building timber with salvaged ships ironwork.
What is the compelling story that draws us to the beached boat, the tumbledown boat shed, the abandoned barn? These neglected and dilapidated structures were once the centre of someone’s work and life. Every part reflects each days labour, the problems solved, capturing the echoes of a hard life lived.
Our relationship with our maritime heritage inspire his works, constructed with marine fragments and focusing on water-centered sculpture and paintings. Exploring transitions and processes brought by the weather, sea, fire – erosion, exposure of the structure, the stripping down of layers to reveal grain and texture. Initially the works appear to have a form, this is not a representational response but a deeper and more emotional feeling of a traveller seeking safe haven.
