Ewan Coombs / Sid Lloyd, is a multidisciplinary artist and recent Fine Art graduate from UWTSD Swansea College of Art. His ongoing work draws on human interaction with sites of degradation, sedimentary build up, and places where life forms out of manmade detritus. Incorporating clay, installation and drawing, this multidisciplinary practice is born from material explorations.
He examines how different organisms exist and interact within different biocoenosis. He creates sculpture to be both occupied and used, exploring how we understand site specific work in relation to environmental conversations.
The work explores the destruction of the environment and our role within it; thus the viewer is invited to imagine a symbiotic rather than parasitic relationship with nature. This work explores constantly evolving forms, where each change leaves memories in creases and folds. While exact moments can't be recreated, new shapes emerge and continue to evolve.
The essence of each shape lingers in viewers' perceptions and the material itself. All experiences are perpetually transforming, neutral in nature, and cannot be fixed or confined.
