Being the body: the body-as-subject as presence (and as inscendental art object)
In these works, the main focus is on subtle tensions within the body, felt and brought out from within.
Anatomical correctness is subservient to the expression of the interoceptive (all the senses informing us about the internal state of the body) and the sense of the sensual whole.
Certain body parts can have extra weight and volume, adding to the overall presence of the figure and to the viewer’s sensing of the figure’s internally sensed tensions & sensibilities.
This description may sound circular and tangled up, but entanglement is exactly what this is about…!
