Growing Bodies

2/11/2022

0 Comments

 
In the studio I grow my ideas into the physical language of the world

A bubbling of life 
breathed into material
movements
togethernesses
combining
relationship
joining
in the tradition of puppetry as an external poetic study of body

movement to movement
rigid to fluid
holding
letting go

setting objects free to become another thing
fluid nature of identity explored through materials
reflecting a wish for freedom

divergent ways to bring together 
form 
shape
being

idea fits
idea sits
the physical expression of my self
in many forms and ways

these are selves
these are expressions
reflecting through material

moving in ways which are unusual 
and ways which are recognisable

bodies

I make bodies
expressive bodies
finding the limits of communicating body and self
(this is my journey from the figurative)
this with that
forms
colours

joined parts
parts which are not joined 
shifting and moving

moving without purpose

bodies of non defined fluid purpose

my understanding of mechanism is modelled on the living body which I am

holding feeling

inserting
embracing
absorbing
uniting

expressions of unity
unlikely joining

growth in my fascination in

the fragile/the weak - holding/supporting - the solid/the strong

completely still
absolutely dynamic
