My work is an exploration of depersonalisation. The sensation of being separated from one’s body. I have portrayed this through sculptural and digital pieces. My work represents the divide between the body and psyche and how they cannot exist without each ether, yet they struggle to work together.
My clear plastic sculptures are representative of the body and my digital drawing and animation work the mind. The awareness of the divide between these two realities, the physical and perceived, is the reason for the glitching and warping of human shapes seen in my animation work and the distorted forms in my sculpture. These shapes are reflections of the self and the flesh abstracting and becoming a new more complex being. I have been heavily influenced by films and animations such as blade runner and ghost in the shell as they both deal with a separation between body and soul and feelings of “unrealness”.
I want my work to give the viewer the sense of confusion and melancholy I feel when my mind floats away from my body.
