picking at the bones

2018. Plaster, packing blankets, black fabric, black thread.

A sculpture that takes the elements of plaster and fabric and attempts to find a structure that can hold its own weight. Just as there are endless possibilities of hold and collapse, there are endless possibilities of positioning. Due to the incongruity between the weight of the plaster and the integral strength of the fabric structure, there is an inevitably that the sculpture will constantly be on the verge of collapse.

‘Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better’ Samuel Beckett
