StatementMiler Lagos' sculptural works and interventions invite the viewer to reconsider an object's material properties. By rendering paper and sculpting foam, Lagos produces objects which appear to be made of solid wood or cast bronze. While his works initially seem to be revisiting disputes between the original and its copy, his choices of material or subject matter often engage with local environmental or specific political concerns.
