Contextual Reference. Roger Hiorns.

Goldsmiths graduate Roger Hiorns uses materials and chemical reactions to transform found objects and to explore social encounters and urban situations. Using crystal formulae, melted plastics and burnings he creates evocative pieces of work. This project from 2008 titled 'Seizure' saw Hiorns pump 75,000 litres of solution into a London council flat to cover the floors, walls and roof in a copper sulphate crystalline growth. Hiorns takes the mundane and makes it glitter and shine with these chemical growths. Similar to Latino's work, I'm really interested in developing my work with crystal like shapes.
