Roger Hiorns. Seizure. SE1.

British artist Roger Hiorns makes exceptional use of unlikely materials, the latest work for Hiorns is an unexpected sculptural form that is housed within the four walls of a South London housing estate. The piece entitled Seizure transforms regular urban housing into a large-scale sculpture.



The blue crystal lined walls, floor and ceiling are the result of 90,000 litres of bright blue, saturated copper sulphate solution placed in a metal tank filling the volume of the bedsits interior, the liquid was then cooled and drained leaving behind the crystalline forms.



I will definitely be checking this one out, hopefully they will allow camera's - the photo opportunity is too much to miss.


Showing until 2nd November, 151 – 189 Harper Road, London SE1
Tuesday to Saturday 12:00–19:00 Sunday 12:00 – 17:00






P.S. Its time to WORK IT again this Saturday
