The work of Padraic Driscoll is now available in book form!
Unititled, 2006

Untitled is a tree built using screws, wire, sheet metal and found parts of other nearby trees. Through the crude conglomeration of natural fibers and metal that hold the tree together, a disjointed form stands amidst a natural expanse of forest.

The work illustrates the raw and childlike nature in which we alter the world around us and the imperfect and imprecise nature in which we build out into the intricate complexiety of everything that exists. This Frankenstein-like object serves as a metaphor for our place in the universe and the contorted footprint that we are leaving therein relative to that which exists naturally.
