A physical inquiry into the symbiotic relationship between the human body and its environment.
Through methods of performance, sculpture, two-channel video projection, and audio, this installation moves through a series of considerations around the body and processes of memory. Ceramic imprints and moving image projections embody iterations of bodily gesture and trace, expressing the continual moulding of memory and self.
This project is grounded by the phenomenological positioning of the body as a vessel of lived experience. Holding encounters between my body and inter-tidal sites, this work’s exploration stems from a personal longing for connection to places within and outside of myself.
Each ceramic vessel in the installation was shaped between my hands and the site of experience; carrying the residue of mutual exchanges, a moment bound to a place. The bodily performance featured within the projections embodies a fluid, transitory state; responding to the tangible forming and unfolding of memory. Together, these elements hold space for the viewer to remember the entanglement between their body and the earth.
