Nature collection

Nature collection

Like LEGO bricks, everything in nature is interconnected

Whether it’s a mother polar bear’s love of her cubs, a fox prowling a rabbit, or grandpa teaching his granddaughter to grow a garden, we are a part of nature, and nature is within us.

Drawing on his role as a father and an urbanist, Sean illustrates the connections found in nature and our relationship with them.

Every living creature connects with their homes, families, food, and lifestyles just like we do. We occupy the Earth, we’re part of the food chain, we feed plants every time we exhale. Everything is nature. It’s easy to forget, given how urbanized and modern we all have become.

About the collection

Over 150 sculptures created over a 10-year period have visited gardens, arboretums, zoos, science centers, and exhibit halls across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
