Exploring ideas of transmutation, corporeality and the primordial, Vanessa da Silva’s Muamba Grove series presents a combination of abstraction and figuration, resulting in forms that are at once unrecognisable yet strangely familiar. The forms of da Silva’s sculptures are often produced in tandem, or in reaction to the compositions she intuitively carves. She identifies each piece as ‘unrooted bodies’, neither human nor part of nature, but as hybrids that are in a constant state of mutation, metamorphosing into something still unknown.
