What unites humanity and nature? Hannah Pescher's Sculpture Garden in association with the WWF has approached UAL Camberwell Sculpture students to answer this question and respond with a sculpture that explores their perspective.
Without water there is no life. An obvious full circle that completes itself as seamlessly as water flows. I think that's the life source of our planet and what connects us to it. Without water there is only death, no flora, no fauna. Unda translating from Latin means water. Unda is the depiction of that full life circle, a depiction of water itself, a machine for cleaning said water and paying it respect, an icon of what we take for granted.
By the request of the gallery and thematically, the work produced and shown has to take its ecological impact into consideration. The production process at all times was ecologically conscious with a heavy emphasis on recycling and creating a need for otherwise useless and non-recyclabale matter. All plastic used in this pieces was destined for the landfill or the water streams. Unda was first shown on the edge of a natural pond on an easel made from found, untreated wood with remnants off natural moss formations still on it.
