The work of William Leggett explores the collective memories and futures of culture, nature, and technology.
Incorporating digital design processes alongside concrete construction technologies, the artist creates a complex visual language of modular architectural forms, imagery, and designs that evoke structures and environments that are both ancient and non-existent – simultaneously present in and absent from history. An object of the collective memories of culture, nature and technology, Module Exo 3 (a knowledge of gravity) investigates and entwines the relationships at play between liminal and ambient spaces. It is a conception of an “archispheric” preservation system.
Leggett’s cross-disciplinary practice sees the artist as both architect and archaeologist, constructing and exhuming elements of speculative science fiction, architecture and ecology to build worlds of distant familiarity.
