My talk will be about the evolution of a practice that has spanned more than 50 years and which continues to be a driving force in my life. Starting out in jewellery in the 1970s, my work has developed to include a wider consideration of what we cover ourselves with and what familiar and recognisable objects our bodies touch or interact with on a daily basis.
Recurring themes in my work are where the boundaries between an individual or object are vague or ill-defined, be that between surface and interior, presence and absence, public and private, or the definition of a sense of territory and personal space. The work has explored outer extents of the body as seen through light, shadows, reflections and movement. Larger scale and collaborative working with ideas about space and boundaries between people develop atmospheres that elicit subjective, emotional responses.
Often my work tries to offer more than one way of encountering it. I use readily available materials and very simple techniques, seeking to create engaging visual and tactile qualities. Fundamentally I am motivated by my curiosity and enjoyment for learning new ways of working.
I will also talk about different ways of working – on my own, with a business partner, and as a collaborator with different artists and also as a tutor over many years in various courses and universities.
Where: Pinakothek der Moderne, Ernst von Siemens-Auditorium.
When: 16.03.2025, 11:00 h.
Language: Lecture in English. Free entrance.
