DEGREE SHOW




Sketchbook and Thesis with Bricks


Throughout the realisation of these various pieces (the Saw, the Brush and the Bathrobe), my aim has been to explore and investigate thoughts and emotions, related to experiences and memories. A sort of ‘story telling’ in which the work is accompanied by a variety of tangible objects, in order to make visible that thin line which divides ‘yesterday from today’.

This exploration of the relationship between ‘past and present’, through the use of personal and found objects, is highlighted by the importance of the story concealed within the work. The allegory, which accompanies each piece, is the real protagonist. Thus, this also creates the fundamental connection between ARTIST>WORK>VIEWER, in which the artist, through the work, gives the possibility to the viewer to interact passively within its own creation. This ‘threefold relationship’ gives to the spectator the opportunity to become temporarily ‘an artist’, through the action of imagining the story suggested by each piece and their own title.
