Synapsid (2014) is a large, brightly coloured sculpture made of epoxy, fibreglass, paint, styrofoam, timber and steel which seems to combine abstract, alien and animal forms. With its radioactive hues and blobby segments, Synapsid has a sci-fi theme where monsters rampage through the built environment. The sculpture takes its name from the scientific name for proto-mammals which evolved to have skulls distinct from those of reptiles: the structure of Synapsid hints at a cranial enclosure and eye-sockets. Viewers are drawn into Synapsid’s openings and interior spaces, which are designed to be immersive, interactive and playful. Looking north-northeast.
