| Humble,
discarded objects provide the material for Hyungsub
Shin's sculptures. His elegant centipede is constructed
from umbrella ribs that in another life might have
blown away in a storm when the umbrella failed. The
sculpture hints at the complexity of the centipedes
movement and elevates a creature that is the often
the focus of disgust. The Smash series preserves the
human impulse and common reaction to the sight of
a pesky bug. |
