A sequence primarily based on discovered objects that will in any other case be misplaced or deserted by artist Sue Palmer Stone. “Embodiment — Salvaging A Self” represents an try and derive worth out from detritus in an effort to determine a way of concord in a dissonant and more and more fragile world. The venture coincides with Stone’s struggles with an autoimmune situation that threatens her mobility. When stone discovers an merchandise in a scrap steel yard or alleyway, she might haul them to a brand new website or again to her studio to work with sculpturally or photographically. Different occasions she’s going to {photograph} them the place she finds them with solely slight changes or intervention:
“The sculptures I create in my studio talk obliquely and instantly with what attracts my consideration within the outdoors world. They’re weak and alone, standing up tall, already collapsed, or someplace in between, embodying what I used to be going by means of, at a time once I didn’t know if I might lose using my limbs.”
In the end the sequence is about connecting by means of form, color, line, texture, gesture, and environment. Taking part in with scale to emphasise or distort these relationships, Stone explores concepts about human frailty, the passage of time, and what will be salvaged from even essentially the most difficult circumstances.
