Kingston artist Nicholas Crombach’s newest large-scale sculptural work is full with the joys of collecting, and reveals surfaces ready for discovery and wonder.
With each sculpture, Crombach designs a complex scaffolding structure for supporting a playful cross-section. Think futuristic prototypes for archeological museum displays.
The works emphasize a world where natural and human materials exist in a state of entanglement, inviting viewers to consider the layered relationships between materials, time, and human intervention – Agnes Etherington gallery

“Entanglements,” such a well-chosen word. The works seem to read equally well, but very differently, at a distance and up close.
That’s so true – differently from afar and up close.
slice of life; lovely!
Great comment (slice), love it. Thank you.
As a person who loves to collect shells, these are quite gorgeous!!!
Yes, so many beautiful shells, plus other “found” items. New use for your shells?
