Material Affect and Intimacy Through Sculpture and Installation

By engaging with the liminal, both as a conceptual threshold and material state, this sculptural project examines how intimacy can be revealed through spatial and material relationships within installation. Moving beyond an initial engagement with the abject and the singular sculptural object, this practice explores the affective potential of material proximity, weight, gravity, and scale within an installation framework. Through arrangements of objects and armatures, the work seeks to implicate encounters that foreground embodied perception, drawing attention to the physical and psychological tensions between the viewer, form, and space.
