THE WAY SHE WAS DRESSED
Concentric, TEMMAH,West Wharf Gallery, March 2019
TEMMAH I am a Multi Disciplined Visual Artist. my practise has focused on body sculpture/apparatus, mark making becoming consequential. creating a developing interplay with control between the sculpture/apparatus and myself. current practices stem to embrace my own body’s current position. Position in regards to social, political and autobiographical aspects.
“You have to look at the way she was dressed” barrister said in rape trail in Ireland. This is not the first time this has happened, this barrister called attention to a bigger problem of victim blaming. Misconception and a damaging one that the way you are dressed invites rape. In response to this and personal feelings, wearing body appendages ply, elastic and an accumulation of screws, I will make myself a human cactus. The worlds access-ability changes for me and in turn armour that repels . From the opening time of ……………. I will set to work rubbing the screws with soap, the unstable medium In this case. The materials form ever changed, repelled from my form. The outcome of interaction will be considered on the night.
