Mutter
‘Kaos’ exhibition 2024This 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
