In working with this material. I want to highlight its magical, mushroomy quality and make work that evoked the wonder that I felt in working with it. It reminds me of something you would find in Alice in Wonderland, with its trippy optical pattern and two way shimmery colouration that pulses in the light…. The 2 dimensional lines, melt into the 3rd dimension, painting meets sculpture, verticality slips into other directions. Gold and silver gives birth to satin blues and browns.
Perhaps a series of mini psychedelic portals to elsewhere, somewhere mystical… just as in Alice in Wonderland where Alice falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world and leaps through mirrors to somewhere else.
As I dissolve into my work, I become the textural gold and silver surface, the internal blue and brown, the spilling out sag, the odd and beautiful, the pleated in and out, the weight, the gravity, the movement, the light, the joy, the pain, the tender, the sensual feminine, the ability to change – the impossible possible.
In creating work for this show, I am within it – the materiality expresses my interior while I construct it from the outside and bring forth my vision and body-unconscious, sensation and intention into something tangible.
Whilst I know that the work is made of a material that is not me – there is an alchemy that happens in the process of making where we become one and in turn transform eachother.
It also conveys a feeling of exceeding boundaries, of being out of the body, the fissures between internal and external. The sensation of being pulled out of myself, the inside becoming outside. A maturation process in flux. –SF
