A Posed Moment of Gestation

 

Material answers in an abiological language

 

This body of work is constructed as a dialogue, posing that a non-human body of matter can be perceived and re-defined as a mortal object, that it can perform with attributes that are perceived as living and embody the same tactile/haptic vitality within the parameters of a human body.

The synthetic materials are used as a microcosm of controlled matter in order to question our relationship to material bodies. Here states of vitality are drawn out of synthetic material, by organic experience being identified within the synthetic body, this asks for a reframing of perception towards the non-human body as the two forms of bodily experience overlap further.

Framed in the language of the bodily, the action of containment is central to each piece. These permeable interactions forming inorganic skins which have been forced into positions of holding in order to pose the same experience of action with various synthetic material states within a subsistent structure.

The objects all posed as vessels in contorted forms of containment, their actions of gestation facilitated by the hand of the artist allows the objects to grow into the site, and settled their pressure forms, forming a subsistent action of attachment  to the architectural framework, body requiring body.
