“My piece for Pandamonium 1 uses processes of collage and assemblage to create a 3D landscape that speaks of growth and decay. I appropriated materials and images from the urban environment which I then reconfigured into a series of forms that recall the natural world….My intention was to create an ecosystem that explores the diversity and interconnectedness of living things and the fragility of the natural world.” - Adam King
