Art
The Pin Series is an ongoing collection of sculptures, performances and drawings that use dressmaking pins to explore issues of repetition, obsession, the meaning of domestic labour and the power of ritualised mark-making.
‘3 Score & 10’ is a sculpture made from 70 lengths of strings, each containing 365 hand-tied knots. Altogether the work contains 25,568 knots - the exact number of days (including leap years) that you’d live if you reached your biblical 70 years.
Every day in 2007 I am drawing on an envelope, placing something secret inside and posting it to myself before my midnight deadline.
The Requiem Series was based on the events of September 11th. In order to try and understand the loss of life, I burnt 3,533 matches, the estimated death toll when I began the work in December 2001.
