An exhibition of 10 new sculptures by Mark Haywood and 3 new paintings by Marq Kearey @ Conductors Hallway, London SE5, UK. 29/06/00

At the end of the 20th century Mark haywood commemorates the birth of a new symbiotic relationship between society and machine, with his designer range of colourful cancers that rupture and glow.

Created using the discarded polystyrene packaging from electrical goods, these objects are imprinted with the memory of what they once contained, an ancestry that is still visible even though they have mutated into organic forms.

These sculptures conclude a series of investigations exploring the evolution of a society that is obsessed with, and driven by the need to continuously find more sophisticated ways to mechanise our world, producing objects that both enslaved and empowered us.
