Impermanent Permanent Structures
My practice examines bread as a culturally significant material. The work aims to explore the production of bread from grain to loaf through the mediums of sculpture, video and sound. The work intends to provide an in-depth understanding of the importance of bread as a material that varies across borders. I am particularly interested in providing a sense of transnational familiarity, one that can be recognised and understood by the masses.
Elements of construction are also important to the work as a critique on the current lack of living space nationwide, referencing support systems and the laborious work of construction and bread making. The work explores architecture as safe spaces built for humans, made as permanent structures that in fact waste away over time and
become void.
