'Dysfunction'
2023 Sculpture Textile and Lighting 185x100x50cm
'Dysfunction' is a mixed media sculpture, comprised of mostly found fabric, organza, haberdashery and linear fibreoptic bunched lights. The piece is juxtaposing the idea of the dysfunctional male phallus and the appearance of the mature woman. 'Dysfunction' takes the appearance of an alien tree with multiple branches stitched to become appendages of the phallus. Despite the clasically feminine fabric, pink ruffling and flowering illuminescent lights, the sculpture feels masculine and stands over or equal to the viewer. Although the sculpture is a large pressence in a space it doesn't feel domineering but actually comforting and even huggable.
