Tara Keegan | Sculpture and combined media
On the inside The intention in my studio practice is to create a visual language through corporeal awareness that expresses an embodied experience through soft sculpture. Exploring the body’s organic forms, growth, disease, cells and the body in time and process, micro becomes macro. I immerse myself in the Art of making, listening to the materials weight, textures and colours, exploring the relationship of surfaces, painted and textured. While I focus on the physical characteristics of the mediums I use to create my work, I also explore the relationship we have to the objects, by using man-made materials I manipulate and transform them asking existential questions of our human condition. The internal structures held up and in by the human body, challenging me to work from the inner core to the outer shell. |
