Variable dimensions

The installation shown here comprises two works which are part of a larger body of work I have developed in the last 2- to 3yrs in response to immigrant vilification/prison systems. Using life-cast sculptures of hands from immigrants and their children I have collaborated with, as well as creating forms modelled from our bodies using woven repurposed fabrics, the sculptures made from these fragments of body parts from this community allude to the various forms of barriers and erasure that POC constantly must negotiate within neocolonial repressive systems.

Here the work is presented at ’The Space Between” in a collaborative effort to subvert the gallery into a site of material and data collection for the overall project. Data collected included cast hands, stories and video footage
