Mikael Alacoque
Wimbledon, Sculpture/Technical Arts
Trained as a traditional figurative sculptor and Mouldmaker.
I seek to find new meaning and relevance in old outmoded techniques.
I'm fascinated by the idea of the public monument and much of my work revolves around the need to investigate the way in which society records events and people by casting them in metal and stone.
I seek to rip the idea of the public monument asunder and then re-build it in a new order with a revised iconography... my work seeks to expose and examine the insecurities and frailties of society, and our place in it.
