Process is important as it takes a long time and lots of configurations to find a collaboration of objects that is suggestive without being too obvious, that are also interesting enough for the viewer to find mysterious and engaging and want to try and solve the clues left by the artist. What starts off as a simple combination of two or three things soon turns into a complex narrative where every element is relevant.
During this year, I have read quite a lot of feminist theory and looked at feminist art. In my final work, whilst there are ideas about feminism, domesticity, sex, relationships, the sculptures themselves are the actual physical explorations into thinking, feeling and communicating. I use my sculpture as a way of learning and understanding through material experience.
None of the work is purely gestural since there is always intent, a support, (plinth, structure, furniture) and evidence of a careful decision making process.
