In a time of political change and unrest, we are exposed to uncertainty in the form of changes and disruptions to our personal landscape.
Early in 2016, I was one of 7 artists who set out on an experimental journey – each artist made one piece of work that was then passed on to another member of the group. Each month the work changed hands until each artist had contributed towards each piece. It was a process of palimpsest where the work would evolve, be reused or altered but potentially still bear visible traces of its earlier form.
It was an amazing experience - dealing with the issues and emotions related to destroying and changing another artist's work and seeing what another artist had done with your work - for better or worse!
The project lasted for several months during which time each artist experienced changes and disruptions in their lives in the forms of relocation, separations, illness, loss and uncertainty. The result is a body of work that strongly reflects female identity, transition and diversity.
