The structures we create mediate our relationship with the world – whether it’s the physical constructions we make or the frameworks through which we think and feel. For millennia, we have individually or collectively created structures to protect us.
The contemporary world seems to churn and hum with the threat of environmental catastrophe, the effects of relentless consumerism and socio-political dysfunction.
The process of the weaving is showing the environment which can protect and hide physicality from the out side. However, outside signals is covering ourselves and create new language.
With Barbical and Gildhall collaboration Make/Shift aims to explore the shelter as a product of creativity or need, and as a symbol of hope and despair. How and why do we take refuge from the contemporary world? Do we feel a need to hide? Or is it imperative that we face what is there?
