Additional Info

“As I walk I realise my shoes will live outlive me. Long after I am gone, the materials they are made from will preserve them as entities independent of my ownership and one day the environment will reclaim them.”

In My Nike Will Live Longer Than Me II, the artist’s shoe embodies the Nike as a symbol of the human footprint of consumerism and the longevity of its impact on the environment. Quartz crystals take root, grow through and around the shoe, giving a sense of the inevitability of nature reclaiming the environment.

Originating from NASA space technology, the shoe sits on a dichroic-lens. This material makes the form appear animated using reflected light to change colour depending on the angle on which it is viewed. Constantly revealing new aspects of its dimensional interpretation of form and space, the work references how climate science studies nature, allowing us a glimpse into possible and predicted futures.

It is through our ability to fundamentally understand our relationship with nature and co-create with the environment in a positive way that will define our future as a species.
