The Organised Body Project
Date
2022 - 2024
During the past two years I have been working with my accumulated archive; retelling stories using techniques such as quilting and embroidery combined with found objects, print, ceramics, performance, moving image, sound and text.
Influenced by the archive that I work in, I am interested in the way objects are collected, stored, handled, and categorised - often finding myself performing these actions again and again in my work life. I have translated these gestures into ways of making artwork, using the idea of collection and reorganisation as ritual and performance.
Reflecting on how objects are charged and can symbolise loss/grief and how archival systems or gestures could be used as a framework for practice and incorporating this into the final degree work as a series of installations combining moving image, sound and objects.
This exhibition featured three works;
Everything I Didn't Want
The Weight of it All
The Organised Body
