Through sculpture, installation, print, and animation, my work examines primary experiences of body and emotion and a sense of absorption and separation of the body from its surroundings. The formalistic engagement with colour, material, and texture gives rise to objects and sculptural spaces that skirt between a domestic environment and a landscape, between the made and the ‘natural’.
Made to Absorb was produced through a labour-intensive process, rooted in the physical experience of making. The material presents simple processes such as gradation – the successive transitioning of one shade of colour to another or the breaking down of material. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the changing scale of intimacy and belonging.
