Mother Load, by Timothy Horn

Artist: Timothy Horn

Amber Room

September 20–October 27, 2021

The focus of Horn's work is the meeting point between the natural and constructed worlds, where he attempts to locate the area of slippage between the organic and artificial. Horn’s play on scale challenges our notions of masculinity and femininity, but he also chooses to work with unexpected materials for their inherent physical and metaphorical qualities.
