‘Illogical Land’ by Molly Smith

Molly is a multidisciplinary designer who works predominantly with 3D, Illustration and Surface Pattern Design. Her bold and playful style has led her to make works for a broad range of projects including creating textile designs in collaboration with K Swiss and her installation for Brainchild.

Illogical Land is an immersive and interactive art installation focused around the theme of human pollution. Set in the future where human waste has caused plants and crops to die out completely, a formula is created by the government in order to enrich the soil again. The formula then results in enormous mutated plants beginning to grow, poisonous to the touch and carnivorous too. The installation focuses around a world where humans are no longer in power and the natural environment begins to take matters into its own hands.

The installation resembles a dense dystopian forest through the use of distorted natural forms. The aesthetics of the installation aim to bring to light the importance and power of the natural environment and how we should appreciate the beauty of nature and work together to ensure its well being.  The piece is very large in scale so that spectators are able to walk around and explore this alternate world.
