What would the artist Auguste Rodin or indeed his model posing in 'The Thinker' be contemplating if it were made today, and not in its original 1902 form. The world has changed so dramatically since then, most notable the polluted oceans, rivers and land fill sites filled with single use packaging.

After scanning an original full scale work with a 3d laser scanner, I worked towards recreating the work with a revised and contemporary aesthetic. I would imagine if Rodin saw the vast amounts of valuable and carelessly discarded materials dumped into our landscapes, rivers and oceans. Especially considering the work is referred to as a view of a philosopher in contemplation, it would be a poignant thread for anyone to consider; past and present.

    These works are all made from recycled materials that had been carelessly dumped, I have personally salvaged them from places within the landscape where they do not belong; land fill, river, beach & ocean clean up projects with the aim to put these valuable materials to a better end of life.

    These works are all made in a carbon neutral process, the principles, processes and machinery were  installed at the 'Makers Place' recycling studio in the Maldives.
