The Viga series represents a pivotal evolution in Tom Price’s artistic journey, particularly through his incorporation of naturally occurring, pre-existing materials—specifically, centuries-old wooden ceiling beams. These structural elements, originally part of a 15th-century residence in the historic heart of Palma de Mallorca, captivated the artist due to the deep historical resonance embedded within them. Price repurposes these ‘found objects,’ projecting them into a speculative future where the boundaries between the organic and the synthetic have completely dissolved. In doing so, he extends his ongoing inquiry into materiality and humanity’s enduring imprint on the natural world.
“Encrusted with synthetic mineral-like growths, they are a palimpsest of human industry through the ages. The notches carved to accommodate other beams; the old, twisted nails; the splashes of paint; the insect boreholes and worn-down ends, all hint at a rich history of utilitarian function and the many lives lived beneath them. They are a record of human construction from a time before plastics were invented, when everything would have been built and carved by hand. […] I imagined a future where these beams might reemerge – a time where our present era would be ancient history and all the material innovations of our time had become assimilated with and indistinguishable from nature. A flattening of human history into a single era – the Anthropocene – where synthetic minerals and inorganic deposits grow in and on natural materials. The Viga sculptures are an amalgam of the natural and the manmade, their totemic appearance dispassionately assessing the legacy of the human epoch.” – Tom Price
With Viga, Price not only reflects on the convergence of the manmade and the organic but also confronts the long arc of human intervention in the environment—casting the beams as both relics and speculative artefacts, shaped by time, utility, and imagination.

In this case the final form will be an expression of the possibilities and limitations of the material and the processes that have been used to manipulate them."
