For Agius objects, sculptures, earth, soil and furniture are literally material. Encompassing painting, sculpture, performance or installation, he reacts to the spaces, places and objects surrounding him, re-interpreting them and transcending them amongst others. Raw clay, soil, ceramics, stones and pebbles, straw, twigs, branches, natural pigments, are just a few elements used to create bodies of work that draw upon his ecological experience and his archaeology of formless matter while helping him reflect on the limits of his own existence. His shamanistic approach in his practice enables him to identify his being with the conceptual corpus of work he creates.
Sometimes the elements at hand and the data collected during his interdisciplinary processes, documentation and investigations create an ambiguous narrative. His interventions and mixed media work evolve to create a visual discourse between the object and its transformative identity in relation to a place, between the organic and the industrial language that shapes and explores form.
