Samenvatting :
This thesis is an exploration of my sculptural practice. I work with the transformational natures of glass and ceramics, to create experimental organic forms. These sculptural bodies draw inspiration from natural formations. Geological formations reflect the vast timescales of the Earth and show how fleeting our human lifespans are. I reflect on the traces that are left, and connections that come to be, through encounters. I translate this interest into material explorations using casting techniques that embody transformation and interaction. I relate the way in which these sculptural bodies are embedded with traces and memory, to that of my own body. I reflect on my personal history and experience of growing up in South Africa, and combine the sculptural forms with jagged glass panels, printed with imagery. The images I use originate from photographs taken form a family archive. Through combining and layering images, I aim to convey open ended narratives, and reflect on the way in which stories and memories are layered and stored, both within material and our human bodies. I relate personal experiences to collective concerns in relation to ecological change, to develop a narrative of precarity as a collective current state. I am guided by the concept of assemblages to create sculptural compositions. I explore the work of Hannah Rowan and IO Makandal, to strengthen and contextualise my work. Through this body of work I will develop a fractured landscape of sculptural forms, layered with traces, history, and loss. |
