Weight of the World

The sculpture work of artist Pim Palsgraaf is a demonstration of the relationship and effects created by culture and nature. Named 'Multiscapes', these pieces depict the weight of humanity and its development on the shoulders of Kingdom Animalia, growing on these creatures like a tumour with no apparent end and engulfing them in urban expansion or decay. In some animals this urbanisation has buckled them to the knees or is actually growing from within, an effective point made here I feel.
