Haunted, Salvaged is a large-scale suspended mobile with disfigured orb-like objects hanging from steel branches that stretch outwards above a sea of expanding spray foam. Constructed using layers of carved and corroded polystyrene foam, the orbs are arranged to compose an artificial constellation of imagined psycho-geographic entropic accumulation, from which cast concrete electronic devices are arranged into totemic shrines. The installation binds the natural and the man-made together in a zen garden of synthetic material, creating a disconnect between the brain and the eyes.
