Project Description
I was one of six artists selected by the Royal Society of Sculptors to take part in the exhibition ‘Deep Veins’ held in the chapel at Brompton Cemetery in London to mark International Women’s Day. Curated by Catherine Li, the exhibition showcased sculptural works by women from an interdisciplinary perspective, exploring themes of motherhood, craft and the female body as a system of connection and endurance.
The works selected included a number of cast-glass purses from the ‘Lost and found’ series, which invite the viewer to consider their own memories associated with everyday objects, and the breastplate ‘The Human Presence in the Absence of the Figure IV’. This piece is made from an industrially produced soda lime glass – the same microspheres of glass which, when mixed with paint, are used for road markings – reinforcing the primary concepts behind the work: traces of the journey made and the remnants left behind.
