MELTING
POT - 2016
In
2016 both artists managed to bring back parts of their
Grandfather’s cars. For Ohiri this was realised in the
piece What Remains – A patchwork triptych made
out of fragments of his Granddad’s car, and for Hasan
it came in the form of the car bonnet, a relic like sculpture
that was taken from his Granddad's car as a memento of
the past.
However there was still an unfinished dream to fulfil. The My Granddad’s car project started with the desire to park the cars side-by-side in the UK. This quest was achieved when the artists decided to each take a piece of their Grandfather's cars and have them fused together with various other hybrid metals from around the world in a foundry in Sheffield.
The
‘Untitled' collaborative sculpture takes the form of steel
ring. The sculpture has come to represent a complex amalgamation
of ideas and philosophies around the notions of identity,
migration and belonging.
