Sculptural works CaCO3

Abstract

Sculptural Works CaCO3 series were produced to explore writing-as-becoming.

The works question the material world of the human and non-human body (chalk deposits from past marine life), in order to explore the dialogic relationship of the female body and its relationship to authorship and the writerly. The sculptural works were created as interactive documentation of the research enquiry to excavate the work.

The sculptural works produced the following sculptures, which were later commissioned for display at The Glass Tank, Oxford 2020.

The works produced were:

1. Screwed chalk (see images) 2. Steps and hosiery (see images) 3. Strata (see images)

Through creating the sculptures we repurposed the traditional idea of exhibiting visual art as display and as fixed point to exhibiting as research and as touch – to feel the way to the next level, to allow others to intervene and alter course, expand discourse.
