BONE SPLITTER / BONE SETTER

2018

Part of of the MA Print degree show at the Royal College of Art.

Inspired by Walter Benjamin's "angel of history" passage from the essay, Theses on the Philosophy of History, the artist has created work based on the natural material of chalk with its industrial successor, concrete. The show is centred around a sound installation, Bone Splitter/Bone Setter, in which a voice describes its attempts to learn from and recreate the physical rubble of a relationship. He has combined this with works in print and sculpture, creating pieces that morph the chalk into unnatural geometric forms, as well as merging them with concrete, highlighting the constant processing that takes place during the breakdown, alteration, and development of the material.
