British artist Roger Hiorns makes works with detergent, disinfectant, perfume, fire and copper sulphate crystals. He uses these materials to effect surprising, physical and aesthetic transformations on found objects.
In SEIZURE - Hiorns' most ambitious large-scale work to date - he precipitates an unexpected sculptural form within the fabric of a late-modernist social housing estate near London Bridge.
Hiorns uses crystallisation as an unpredictable process informed by the way that the crystals grow under specific circumstances. He has applied this process to objects reminiscent of the rational structures of human knowledge, creative control and industrial power transforming steel poles, car engines and cardboard architectural models into crystalline forms.
