As an artist who works with clay, my practice is inherently tied up in the creation of ‘things.’ These things, once fired, have an enduring nature which transcends time and space; but they are also connected to social, political, and cultural ideologies present in the moment of their creation. Through my art I am exploring how objects in space convey their connection to these systems and ideologies.
Both clay and yarn are imperative to the themes I am conveying, they are pertinent to the modes of cultural production traditionally undertaken by women. I am interested in how these two materials interact and transform when combined. Yarn is a soft material, when knitted or crocheted it can make a myriad of forms; porcelain slip is a liquid, and when absorbed by yarn, it takes on the yarn's form. Through the leather hard stage, the clay allows this form to be moulded and manipulated. Once fired, it becomes hard, cold, and translucent. Through this materiality and process my work explores concepts of time, labour, value and transformation, and the role that gender plays in the construction of these ideologies. It is through the language of art and craft that I am exploring my experiences of time, value, place, space, and sex/gender – an investigation of woman 'as object' and woman as 'creator of objects'. |
