This is a transdisciplinary project navigating between Sculpture, Photography and Performance.
The work Plastic Era as an Indicator of the Anthropocene is an ongoing research based project exploring the relationship between humans, non-compostable rubbish, and the earth.
The Wearable Sculpture Fjorgyn is an artistic response to this research. It comprehends an enquiry into the body, body gesture and the immediate space around us. Through body distortions and body extensions this piece explores the relationship of humans, non-compostable rubbish and the earth. During this project Fjorgyn is placed in the idyllic landscapes of the South Downs and into the woods of this National Park in the form of Pop Up Art Exhibitions. Additionally, this artistic project explores photography plasticity mixing experimental and traditional darkroom techniques.
