Lemoh explores the reality for objects and living things in a natural, yet urbanised society; the new kinds of evolutions living things are confronted with in the face of industrial changes.
A banana is sculpted in polished concrete and smoothed with a lead coating, yet its blemishes are visible.
Sump oil contained in small glass bottles engraved with delicate forms such as the heart or bones speak of a connection between human, natural life and industrial production.
These are poetic pieces that evoke emotive response and speak about the duality of the natural and the industrial.
