Wakefield Cathedral
Designed through collaboration with dancers, these works define physical spaces for bodies to inhabit and interact with. But they also portray an emotional territory of feelings and experiences. In a media driven era of polished images and seemingly effortless achievement, Awkward Objects refreshingly celebrate the ungraceful, inconvenient or disconcerting - in other words,real moments of life full of efforts and imperfections.
Commissioned for the Index Visual Arts Festival, part of Yorkshire Sculpture International, the dynamic sculptures of Awkward Objects were presented in performance with dancers Bar Groisman, Ashlin Huck, Joke Swennen and Beth Conellan in September 2019.
