Paper forms that carry weight
Stuart McLachlan views paper as a malleable medium through which he can create any form he can imagine. His artworks are concerned with exploring humanity’s role in the world. Stuart focuses in particular on the grey areas, asking viewers to think and decide individually on an issue rather than accept what they have been told. His detailed pieces draw in the viewer with a sense of beauty and through it, find a way to engage the audience with a subject matter that may be difficult or disturbing in nature.
The artwork chosen for Homo Faber 2026 is entitled Cardinal Sins and features a white church partially attached to a rock. Behind the church, a mourner sits on a white chair, while under the church, there is a precarious drop as if off a cliff. The piece is a commentary on the Catholic church, the religion in which Stuart was brought up. The contrast of his detailed paper art against the invulnerability of rock in his sculptures highlights its fragility. He considers this piece one of his favourites.
