Fictioning The Sussex Strandline Through Making
To make I map the mechanisms with which my muse, the strandline, indiscriminately juxtaposes, deconstructs, and constructs objects with equivalent studio practices; deposition mapped with electroforming; battering by shingle with hammering; erosion with etching; twisting with the action of the waves; making marks, the life of objects. I combine them with a psychogeographic narrative developed through creative writing and research in a symbolically cyclic process with site-specific materials as the starting form. New meaning is encouraged to layer on top of the old. By demonstrating this multi-craft-disciplined, location-based way of working I research how materials and objects move through a cyclic existence with us.
