  ‘My sculptures are inspired by the landscape,
concentrating on those hidden organic
forms such as fungus, fossils, shells
and seed pods. By abstracting and enlarging
details of these natural elements I hope to bring
into focus the intrinsic beauty and fascination of
aspects of the landscape that are often overlooked.’
  Johanna Domke-Guyot

  Sculpted from cement ‘painted’ onto
framed clothes the quiet stillness of
Johanna Domke-Guyot’s figure inspires
in some a sense of ghostly unease and
in others a peaceful contemplation of past times.

  My aim is to create, from the simplicity and honesty
of familiar objects, a sense of ‘otherness’- of something
no longer familiar; of objects sharing a precariously
balanced relationship.  In exploring a simple, recognisable
form I hope to bring about a change in our awareness
of everyday objects, elevating the ordinary to the
plane of the extra-ordinary.

  Based on characters from Alfred Jarry’s ‘Ubu Roi’
these sculptures are made of inflated latex
clamped between laser cut steel sheets. For
durability the latex is then moulded and cast
in fiberglass.

  Houses, ladders, chairs – their predictable function has been mischievously undermined. The houses have been shrunk, chair legs elongated,  and ladders have been cold rolled and twisted, playfully reflecting the formal structuring of tree branches
