It doesn’t matter 2024 8ft x 8ft installation Latex
‘Life doesn’t last. Art doesn’t last. It doesn’t matter’ Eva Hesse 1970
I am to create an immersive space exploring the intrinsic properties of the material I use in my artistic practice which has been centred around the qualities and manipulation of latex. This is a natural, rubber-based material that degrades rapidly, making all my artworks inherently ephemeral. Embracing change, degradation and error is an integral part of my practice which I achieve through the act of stretching a material to its limit and learning through failure. In a way this has been an almost therapeutic investigation, opening myself up to be freer and more experimental. I am challenging the idea that an unintended or unsuccessful artwork is not a personal failure - in fact, it doesn’t matter.
