His artworks are fuelled by an ongoing dialogue with practitioners from other fields of material practice. His exuberant sculptures are created from 3D prints which amalgamate into colourful post-digital explosion of matter. They often appear to be in flux, as if emerging from constant material transformation which ask questions about what happens when stuff moves between states and places. What happens when an object moves from the physical world to the digital and back again. Dawson’s recent sculptures, for example, use non-petroleum biomaterials which he combines with forms from mesolithic archaeology. From his core sculptural practice, he has become increasingly fascinated by the intersection between 3D printing and the digital image and his work seeks out connections between the malleability of the thermoplastics in his physical objects and a wider conversation about plasticity
