# Twisted Sculptural Chaos Sam Haggerty's Delightfully Mutated Public Artwork By Cowbag | Published 2009-01-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-chaos-sam-haggerty-mutated-sculptures References: [samhaggerty.wordpress](http://samhaggerty.wordpress.com) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/mutoidsam) Sam Haggerty is a part of the ever-awesome Mutoid Waste Company--the guys behind Mutate Britain--and his elegantly twisted machinations have been exhibited all over the world. Among the collectors of his work include the Royal Academy of Art. Bone, leather, glass fiber and rusting steel form the components of his unique vision; Haggerty's works are equally at home inside or outside and range from 5kg to 1,500kg in weight. Haggerty's style of sculpture walks a line somewhere between humor and the macabre. Of course, it's right up my street! Good work Sam, and see you at the festivals this year! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sculptural Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the art industry through the creation of unique and twisted sculptures. - **Mutated Artwork:** Exploring the potential for disruptive innovation by transforming traditional art forms into mutated and surreal creations. - **Outdoor Sculptures:** Innovation opportunity in the field of public art by creating outdoor sculptures that blend humor and the macabre. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Disruptive innovation potential in the art industry by introducing twisted and mutated sculptures. - **Creative Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the creative design industry by exploring surreal and macabre concepts. - **Public Installations:** Innovation potential in the realm of public installations by showcasing outdoor sculptures that provoke a sense of humor and the macabre. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Raw Metal Design Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nick-valentijn.md) - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md) - [Whimsical Sculptural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-block-series.md) - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Wooden Identity Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity.md) - [UK-Based Modern Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relics-in-the-landscape.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md)
