INHERENT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BODY AND THE EARTH
2024
Forms gather through contact between bodily, environmental, and artificial materials. Found objects, painted surfaces, and sculptural fragments press against one another, creating unstable relations between human and nonhuman systems. Through processes of accumulation, repetition, and alteration, the work considers how structures are shaped, softened, and reconfigured over time.
Industrial and hand-worked materials intersect with organic matter, bodily gesture, and environmental residue. Surfaces swell, erode, and hold traces of pressure and exchange. Rather than presenting fixed distinctions between body and landscape, the work allows boundaries to remain permeable, where forms shift between containment and collapse, intimacy and exposure.
Developed through collaborative conversations and material experimentation, the project approaches climate anxiety not as illustration, but as a condition carried through bodily and environmental relations.
Special thanks to everyone who participated in the collaborative process at Studio 10, Pallas Projects/Studios, and to Fingal County Council Artists’ Support Scheme, which supported research at the Centre Culturel Irlandais and the Musée Camille Claudel.
