LUMPS

In art I am beautiful, in life I am not the ideal shape. In my making I am anything, in yours I am the biases of your limited attention. In life I am genderless, in your moments I am women. I am flat, and I am form, and I am lines of your subconscious error. Just lumps of flesh pure, beautiful, limitless.

Lumps is a sculptural presentation of bodies and consent across themes of materiality, tactility, proprietorship and access. Lumps began as 2D work with wood, small-scale, produced manually, developing themes I’d explored within photography and performance where the lens, and framing of human action replicated film/theatrical settings – and the masking of queer and neurodivergent identity, bodies and gender. Lumps explores the negotiation involved in authoring personal space; of the body in proximity to objects, location and power.

I began to translate these questions around form and authorship outside photography, into sculptural works. With support from East Street Arts Convention House Seed commission in 2022, I’ve accessed mentoring, equipment and training to substantially upscale and refine my work.
