The fragility of life, a visceral journey.
By framing the architecture of the natural world and entering into a practice of sculptural theology, a process of speculation casts reflection toward the economic and the divine.
Investigating friction and personal dissociations between the freedom of human life and the mechanisation of systematic structure, the relationship between authority and the individual is examined. Born in Coventry, England in 1986. Finch is influenced by a weighted history of British Industrialism. Returning to ideas of the local and the homegrown he displays a self critique of masculinity and hardship. A sense of material struggle is apparent giving reference to ecology and sustainable production with works abstracted and re-appropriated with concern towards labor and energy consumption.
Objects often exist as documentation, a recording of a performance. By taking ‘the involvement of the act’ of labor through making work the notions of the language are being communicated on a sensory level and feelings become closer to be understood. The human form and enlightened spirit is represented in each work. Simple, mundane, taken for granted. Sweeping, washing stones, picking, filtering, tarmacking. The supposedly Unskilled, so beautiful in its own right.
