'on tenter hooks' was created within the realm of my ongoing project 'in pursuit of presence', conducted as part of my postgraduate degree in contemporary art and archaeology. the work symbolically and more directly explores narratives of institutionalisation, enclosure and oppression from an ecological and feminist perspective. key texts which informed them work include carolyn merchant’s ‘the death of nature’, tim ingold’s ‘the perception of the environment’, and thomas hübl’s ‘healing collective trauma’, amongst others, has created a framework for narratives of ecological, feminist and trauma theory to intersect.
within the work, two key questions are explored: what are the materials of forgotten histories / oppression / intergenerational narratives, and what are the connections between the wounds of the earth and the wounds of the oppressed - can they be reclaimed and offered space for healing? these investigations are ongoing and play an intrinsic part in my developing body of work.
