Dissolution
Cast Salt, Glass, Liquid, Time, Dimensions Vary, 2019
I am working through examining the inexorable passage of time, employing the movement of my body in and through space. I utilize the inherent similarities between the way that glass and the weight/mass of the body react to the forces of time and the pull of gravity. Having a background in both Dance and Craft, movement is an intrinsic aspect of my relationship with materials.Whether that be through the trace forms of my movement, the space my body occupies, or archiving the passage of time, I am constantly grappling with my bodies impermanence.
Dissolution is an durational work where the artist cast her body mass in salt. Over time, liquid from a glass vessel above drips onto the salt. Slowly disintegrating, the salt changes form, breaks down and decomposes. Just like the body, the material returns to its environment leaving behind nothings but a trace form of its existence.
