In this exhibition, I combine axonometric technical drawings with Valchromat carvings as well as crude automaton/Kinetic sculptural family portraits alongside pointillism sketches.
Arts education, whether formal or otherwise is invariably intertwined with my practice as a sculptor/technician.
Tacit knowledge, thinking through doing is a constant reflection in the 5-year daily investigation of venusaday, an origin of figurative sculpture – the Venus of Hohle Fels.
Thought to be over 35,000 years old the Venus archetype has pulled me into finding out about women in the history of art/ideas around inheritance/technology and investigations of material translations into different states of matter.
