DOCUMENTARY
Processes with similarities and opposing aspects are examined and subverted in this body of work.
The age-old weight and poetry of hand-made and craft processes are important in this body of work, however, objects created “en mass” by machines also provide scope for comparison between the objects. A drawing of a machine made sponge sits next to a drawing of a naturally grown sponge. The machine woven and plaited salmon pink sponge is perhaps distastefully ornate and complex, yet when placed next to the naturally grown sponge similarities in the two forms become apparent. The majority of the drawings have been rendered in salmon pink pencil. The colour is derived from the machine knitted shower sponge. Some drawings depict two forms together such as a piece of needlework resting on a lithography stone.
