Painting/installation (oil paint on board, on pulpit)
Exploring the oscillation between microcosm and macrocosm, my work questions how very small things can imply much larger thoughts or concerns. This is through a poetic manipulation of materials in relation to their site.
The Dividing Line, a gold thread almost invisible to the eye and in direct reference to the font, aims to question the divides that we face when entering into faiths, religious communities, or perhaps religious buildings. Within the exhibition setting, this separation can be further applied to the often intimidating and exclusive world of contemporary art. The visual and interactive qualities of the placement of thread equally suggest a breakdown of such suggested barriers.
Stakes relate to the already present narrative of the crucifixion. The miniature sculptures make reference to overhearing, suffering and remembrance.
Estelle graduated with a first class honours degree in Fine Art in July 2010 and is now pursuing many creative activities including curating, conducting art and music workshops in the local community, and leading art discussion evenings.
