Steph Huang premieres her public sculpture at the Camberwell Sculpture Garden in London. The new work is titled Den Den The Mushi -- a colossal snail crawling across a couple of equally humongous leaves. Huang’s choice to present a brawny gastropod is perhaps informed by Henry Moore’s chunky biomorphic forms sited in the nearby Brandon Estate. Snails also, of course, can’t help but signify the tragically topical issues of migration and home. Then, with its muted but lush green-grey-blue patina Den Den The Mushi could be cast simply as a delighting figurative celebration of a less noticed part of biodiversity.
