Artist Statement
Zealey’s sculptural works combine playfulness of form with precise engineering and a highly developed material sensitivity. The works radiate a lively aesthetic, alert to the ways in which art and creativity can engage with questions about culture, technology and sustainability. He has a long-standing interest in the relationship between new technologies and environmental issues. With many of Zealey’s works, his visual language highlights the use of modern technological advances that impact the environment. Zealey approaches his practice with a view to creating works that highlight the environmental problems created as a result of global warming brought about by the use of nonrenewable fuels that humans continue to consume and burn. In turn, his work leads to a new awareness in theories surrounding ‘Global weirding’.
