Statement: Samuel Zealey
Samuel Zealey after studying the sciences at college started to make unusual connections between the physical world and the visual world, and through a sculptural perspective these articulated interesting formal and conceptual questions.
He appropriates popular household and industrial appliances in order to find strange and unknown functions in their performances, motivated by a desire to catalyse domestic equivalents of spectacular events that you might see only once in your life, if ever, like a dying star.
Zealey becomes inspired by the properties of materials he uses when making a piece of work. These properties are usual fundamental to the workings of the sculpture and enable elusive energy to interact with the materials used. These elusive energy’s can be transformed into many different types of physical, visual or acoustic performances.
All though Zealey makes sculpture that is evolving with that of the modern world he also look to the history books and in particular is greatly inspired by many 19th and 20th century actions ranging from the industrial revolution in particular the engineering of Isambard Kingdom Brunel to the events that happened during WW II.
Zealey attempts to make an uncommon experience common in a controlled situation, by constructing amazing kinetic sculptures that form perfect microcosms of our universe. And so he operates as a sort of artist/scientist/engineer translating the ordinary into the impossible, and recreating scientific and celestial phenomena out of spinning tops, magnets, vacuum cleaners and running machines.
