Conrad Shawcross

Conrad Shawcross was born in London 1977. He lives and works in London.

Shawcross often uses subjects which lie on the border of science and philosophy. His structural and often mechanical sculptures, question empirical, ontological and philosophical systems within our lives. From early works such as The Nervous System (2002), a monumental spinning machine that endlessly weaves a length of colored rope into the form of a double helix, to his recent giant spiral work Continuum, 2004, he has attempted to visualize the the human concern with time.
