she/her
The ritual of my making process focuses on how the connection shared between myself and the pieces can push a piece of work past the material reality. The outcomes symbolising the remnants left over from this shared encounter, embodying an energy and aura which demands adornment and worship, as if it is unexplainably holy.
Searching and clustering together shapes that pirouette around the paper. The sketches conversing with the sculptures, and objects. All existing in this uncanny dreamscape.
By working as a co-creator alongside the objects, I intentionally ignore their original functionality, misusing them, thereby allowing for their full aliveness to be revealed. Through the recurring shapes and figures that appear across my practice, I place an honourable status on the sculptures, bringing them into the physical and giving them uncanny human characteristics. These preternatural forms make the viewer question their objecthood, comparing themselves to the pieces which hold a similar figurative appearance.
By only having influence over the placement of the pieces, I allow for the performance outcome to be decided through the object’s own aliveness. This misuse of their original purpose becomes an assemblage of happenings, which
demonstrates the effect left after intertwining a human and an object’s entities.
