Displaced

  • rachel wyld
Degree show at Chelsea College of Arts in September 2015. The work was awarded best curated in show and explored issues of displacement and memory whilst working between two sites; the studio and the forest. By using different models of visual representation, being the object, the image and the map, I created opposing physical and mental landscapes. Cutting into tree trunks and setting them into blocks of plaster created a tension between the natural and the man made. Cast fragments became integrated into walls as the industrial and the natural interlink, a narrative formed between the forest and the gallery.
