Belle Thierry
Within.
My body of work is composed of a series of fragments, each capturing an impression of the confines I am isolated within. The series highlights the intimate nature of this spatial experience, capturing details of domestic space such as corners, intersections, fittings and mouldings.
Indexical pressings have been made using two different materials; porcelain and aluminium. Both are delicate and fine yet malleable in temperament, allowing the material to take on the form and detail of the process of pressed engagement. I record these engagements by photographing the fragment in their architectural context and by removing and keeping the sculptural fragment intact.
The series contains both the notion of absence and emergence.
This exploration of architectural space not only evokes the thoughts, emotions and memories of place but ultimately examines the experience of self.
