RHYS HIMSWORTH: MENHIR

"Menhir" is a solo exhibition by the Welsh artist Rhys Himsworth at BBA Gallery. Himsworth works across painting, print, sculpture and digital fabrication, developing a material practice rooted in the transformation of electronic waste that examines the relationship between geological extraction and technological production. Dense composite blocks are formed from shredded electronic waste such as circuit boards, LCD screens and hard drives combined with resin, then carved using three-, five- and six-axis CNC processes. The title refers to the standing monolithic stones of Neolithic landscapes, whose meanings often remain unclear, and the works are positioned between the scientific and the symbolic.
