Abstract/Statement
This experimental photography project, ‘Irregular Balance’, attempts to interrupt various socially constructed binaries, including both physical and neurological ones.
Materials such as pins, potatoes, thread, and tape were tested, and various modelled structures were then documented with analogue photography. Forms taken by arboreal constructions and deconstructions in local parks have also been investigated.
Twine encompassed around a sewing machine was reworked during an MA performative piece at London College of Communication in 2019. In this reflective review, the artist explores her relation to visualised concepts of perfection and imperfection, bearing in mind her spinal fusion surgery and her more recent diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.
