Stephen Hendee
Alluding to the molecular structure of the compound methane in both title and form, Stephen Hendee's sculpture resembles a corroded metal skeleton. Hendee often explores the relationship between humanity, technology, and climate change in his sculptural work, using a unique material process. Envisioning a future where sea levels have risen and submerged large swaths of current civilization, Hendee covers a stainless steel skeleton with a material aggregate he's developed to mimic an object long submerged.
