TEMMAH
Exploring themes of anxiety and expectations surrounding pregnancy.
I am a Multi Disciplined Visual Artist. My current practise is focused on body sculpture/apparatus, mark making becoming consequential. This has resulted in a continuum of experiments that started exploring the parameters of the human body and its awareness of the prosthetic: creating a developing interplay with control between the sculpture/apparatus and myself: obscuring outcomes fighting to produce a mark in pursuit of displaying a conflict with technology in a physical embodiment. Following the metamorphosis that occurs in pregnancy I found myself in a different position that induced a response; introducing body’s current implications as subject matter; allowing this to govern the shape or look of said body sculpture. The ink stains that will be produced are in a constant state of flux as the medium is considered unstable; this is congruent with Societies views regarding female form. What does it mean to place yourself in a new position through the use of body Sculpture?
Description:
Representation of a pregnant belly made out of plywood, attached to my body which opens similar to a cabinet, in which I can place the egg replicas made out of my sons old muslin cloth. Over time deep red ink will bleed into the fabric.
