> CASTLES IN THE SKY

​​A series of cast concrete corbels displaying a collection of computer heatsinks mounted in a horizon line on a gallery wall. 

‘Castles In The Sky’ are a horizon line of discarded computer heatsinks individually presented on concrete cast wall mounted corbels. Each architectural monument punctuates a far away distance, but when viewed up-close they appear as micro and precious. These gem like artefacts were once housed inside computers, specifically engineered to protect them from overheating and presented here out of context as miniature readymade sculptures they become beacons of a shiny technological mirage.

I've been collecting Heatsinks for years - they are generally regarded as electronic waste and recycled as scrap. They are intricate metal forms engineered purely for their cooling air function within computers, yet with such architectural characteristics and formal qualities they become miniature readymade sculptures. 

Here a selection is Installed from a growing collection of over 50+ individual pieces making up this work.
