Johan Hagaman's work often depicts a figure embedded or entwined in some form of nature juxtaposed with rusted manmade objects, implying a larger story of the relationship between the interior landscape of the psyche and the exterior landscape of nature.
"these new works were inspired by a wild vine that grew over my garden, completely transforming it into a design of its own. it was a call to wonder, a call to attention, a call to decide, “what is in your world?” these sculptures are symbolic evidence of this appeal to consciousness and imagination, but also suggest a larger story of how we shape and are shaped by ourselves and our world; how creation is it not fixed, but fluid, and ongoing."
