I have shown new works Payment unsuccessful and Handles. M26 in the Kunsthalle Oktogon, University for Visual Arts Dresden, Post Graduate Degree exhibition.
Payment unsuccessful, 2026 is an installation made up of wood, ceramic, brick, mirror
it is about 90cm x 215cm and 100 cm x 250 cm big.
Two facing adjacent walls face eachother. One
covered with mirrors and a handmade sink. The other with handmade ceramic tiles. This piece stems from the work Responsibility is the ability to respond. On the tiles is written in backwards writing
Payment unsuccessful. It refers to my financial
situation and how it worries me waking up to face myself every morning.
But lets face it. The personal is politcal. The viewer finds their reflection and becomes a part of the art work, leaving the meaning open.
The next piece is called Handles
My lonely mom world, has evolved into something
that is not just particular to my perspective
and position as a mother artist, but it is
a commonality we all might share. Handles
leaves open to reference how we might all
handle this situation of uncertainy.
We’re not just reaching for support, we’re
climbing the ladder and tugging on the handles,
although everything is ultimately tangled
together. Not knowing what the results will be.
The white refers to a call for surrender, and
still even the knotted bedsheet, are ready for
an escape.
