Intimate Moments - It Will All Come Out In The Wash, Handshake and Dialogue Collective, Munich Jewellery Week, 2017

Intimate Moments

Working with Dialogue Collective has been a great experience.  Playful, experimental and social.

Interactions between the groups have traveled back and forth across the world, ending with a concept focused on the idea of laundry lines strung between buildings connecting neighbours.

The notion of laundry led me to an exploration of private worlds, underwear hanging outdoors, private items in the public sphere.  Public and private spaces, peering into peoples intimate spaces.  Our collective fascinations with other people’s lives.

Residual Traces - Handshake at Munich Jewellery Week 2017

Residual Traces

 

Objects and the traces left behind them.

I) Construct – Chalk line mapping out constructions.  Transient markings turned into structures.
II) Shelter – Channels directing rain, leaving the impression of protection.
III) Collapse – Returning to the beginning after a life, materials shedding and collapsing back into the surroundings.

Structures

Structures

 Old, new, black, white, red, large, small, open, closed, hard, soft.

Shelter

Shelter

Integument, Storm, Recess, Periphery, Interior, Husk, Boundary, Intramural, Plastron

I’m interested in structures, enclosure, protection, and shelter; the workings of time on the monumental and on the minutiae of everyday life; and the control and separation of public and private spaces.

On Your Wings

On Your Wings, a group show curated by Kate Alterio including work by Kathryn Yeats, Kate Alterio,  Jane Dodd, Rebecca Fargher and Lisa West.

Opening at Gallery 33 in November.

I'm interested in the heart representing love and the four chambers of the heart creating an architectural link

with the body.  My pieces also explore time based processes and the physical memory of spaces.
