Embodied Making
Pig Rock Bothy - National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh November 2019
A curation of significant family kitchenware alongside sculpture, print and publication. This body of work, exhibited at Pig Rock Bothy, National Galleries of Scotland - Edinburgh, addresses the evocation of memory through environmental encounter and domestic making. In extension, this grouping of significant material further speculates upon notions of embodying knowledge of traditional making in the hands.
This line of enquiry stems from notions of attaining a sense of place and orientation - identifying memory as a gravitating force that encourages making in and in response to the natural environment. To support this work I considered more closely the relationship I have with my grandma through making - referencing that of embodied environmental and domestic processes or acts that are attached to memory.
