To be surrounded by Nacho Carbonell’s tactile, large-scale works is to be transported to a hybrid ecosystem. His lighting sculpture Combi Cocoon 2 is shaped as a sinuous tree, with a seat and side table growing from its welded metal roots. Carbonell experiments with industrial and often recycled materials, placing the viewer in contact with elements of nature. The artist is fascinated by the power of plants to colonise inhospitable environments; this tree therefore grows from a roughly hewn concrete block that represents a harsh urban environment.
