Sean Blem began his residency on 12 January. This is his third residency at NIROX. The first commenced in January 2014. Accordingly, his current residency serves as a ten year retrospective, of sorts. In his new works, wood from indigenous tree species is uniquely employed. Other elements are participant in his sculptures, though these remain largely hidden. References to previous series, and his body of work as a whole, remain strong. Nonetheless, the new works build on those created in the past, exploring a different intimacy and interrelation to the environment than his earlier works.
