Two people stand on a scissor lift inside a glass-walled building, working on a large, abstract glass sculpture suspended from the ceiling. A laptop in the foreground displays a digital model of the sculpture.

While oysters are busy cleaning water and preventing erosion, humans argue amongst themselves, causing all manner of destruction. “Lover’s Spat” playfully celebrates oysters and reflects on our relationship with them, each other and the planet. Inspired by the work that St. Mary’s College of Maryland has been doing with these humble bivalves, the artist made high-resolution 3D scans of Crassostrea virginica oyster shells, which were used to create a large-scale composition produced using post-industrial medical grade plastic.
