Abstract
By engaging with the liminal, both as a conceptual threshold and material
state, this sculptural project examines how intimacy can be revealed
through spatial and material relationships within installation. Moving
beyond an initial engagement with the abject and the singular sculptural
object, this practice explores the affective potential of material proximity,
weight, gravity, and scale within an installation framework. Through
arrangements of objects and armatures, the work seeks to implicate
encounters that foreground embodied perception, drawing attention to
the physical and psychological tensions between the viewer, form, and
space.
