‘I fold, you pop, they bend, we mesh' re-considers everyday experiences; of self and body, of caring for a newborn, and of household objects through a range of imaginative and idiosyncratic practices.
Routine time, the door, umbrella pins, kitchenware and domestic materials are subjects that undergo poetic transformation through processes of repetition, abstraction and figuration and through physical and conceptual re-configuration of these objects and their relation to the body.
Through practices that centre auto-biography, iterative making, drawing and sculpture that stem from jewellery-making methodologies, we ask: what happens when jewellery becomes a door and a door becomes jewellery? Where do boundaries between the body, self and world merge? How are familiar and commonplace interactions and forms simultaneously obscured and made recognisable? How can re-arrangement and repeated actions evoke a sense of evolution and the complexity of the whole?
By drawing attention to metaphysical, temporal and material boundaries, challenges are made to simple categorisations and new narratives are spelled about the time and objects of daily existence.
