Mutter

 ‘Kaos’ exhibition 2024
Tuesday 19th November 2024

This artwork appears as if caught reaching up towards the future or falling back into the past. A distorted figure both foetal and adult invites discourse and tension as performativity is personified through sculpture, sound and light. The audience is invited to follow the stitched marks and trace a journey through time. 

Materials:
withies, masking tape, teabag paper, machine stitch, PVA glue and water, fairy lights, and a soundscape made with archival audio recordings by my father. 

Dimensions:
Approx. 230x180x80cm
