‘Embodied Experiences’ seeks to convey the feeling of being completely immersed within a place, focusing on the dynamic, ever-changing interplay between land and sea. It is inspired by the crashing, tumbling turmoil of being thrown about by the waves, the swirling vortices you are able to see only from beneath the surface, the sea spray whipping around your face.
This project was born from an amalgamation of my own experiences, the sum total of a childhood spent on beaches and in the sea. It is an exploration of my own memories and experiences in the place(s) which I call home.
These pieces intentionally splinter and fray bars of steel, creating a heterogenous amalgamation, bursting with material agency. The final assemblage is not the result of any fixed plan, but rather a journey with the material.
