Repeated Disobedience

the work fundamentally employs elements of frailty and fragility.
Latex was the only possible material I could think of which harbours all of these qualities. I think it is very plain to see my influences are taken from soft sculptural artist such as Eva Hesse and Claus Oldenburg.

At first my influence came directly from Eva Hesse’s Repetition no19, which is comprised of nineteen fibreglass cast of a cylinder shaped mould, I love the simplicity of her work and the natural tones it portrays.

I decided to name my piece Repeated Disobedience, because as the title indicates the work consists of repetitious elements that is evident in casting an object, and Disobedience comes into play/focus as the final product which is the cast itself not only takes on the form of the mould but also slumps, falls, bends etc and begins to take on its own form.

The idea was to fill a table with lots of these latex objects but most importantly to give some kind of effect of order, stacking and unity. The forms give a natural feel but offers ghost like qualities, as they replicate the object they have taken there shape from so they themselves are almost in a kind of limbo as they are not the object, but are an object none the less.

Life and its journeys

People arriving in and out of our lives constantly, some we remember, and some we don’t. What would it be like to physically document the events of our lives, and the people therein?

String are the main substance of this piece as it is very supple and can easily be suspended, in symbolism String is used to signify the passing of time in other words life. The knotting, wrapping and layering process illustrates the ritual and repetition used by many cultures e.g. the use of rosary and worry beads. These methods provide meditation and are a way of containing anger because of the intensity of this practice.

The strings reflect the fragility and frailty of life which is why the colour of the strings remain neutral, this expresses the visual affects of the piece and does not detract from the knotting and construction.
