Sculptural Documents
June 2010











BUILT
01 - 08 April 2010, Rogue Artist Studios Manchester


BUILT brings together 8 Female artists from across the UK whose practises deal with specific aspects of the built environment.  
Through the use of Sculpture, Installation, Animation and Performance the selected artists respond to the structures which surround our daily activity; be that personal shelters and social networks, or our more public man made surroundings that are compounded in the cities we live in. They search for a space in the parameters between art and these constructed locations, subtly commenting; "Women build stuff too"

     




Material. Questions.
May 2010

   

  
These works are a continuation of previous experiments into the relationship between drawing and sculpture. Even though I call these material experiments, I am also beginning to see them as small installations. Space and form draw in elements of the architectural, which is still a new area that I became interested in since leaving university. My research has led me to the work of Gordan Matta Clark, his photo dissection imparticular. I am interested in what material does when interfered with and the reciprocal nature of support.
