This is volume 2…
The central premise for this issue of Sculptorvox seemed mapped out many months ago when we planned seven titles with themes for each in the series. There are now eight planned volumes.
What happens from the point of conception to the moment of completion – in this case a limited edition print run – seems to be a process of evolution… small by any stretch of the imagination, witnessed by only the very few involved in the process of creating and compiling the publication as it moves from inception through to realisation. The volume adapts to the original idea, it grows and becomes something of its own, and by the time we send it out we are merely nervous guardians of an adventurous new entity. Treat it kindly world.
Blood and wire represents the physical flesh, the visceral manifestation of being, assembled, realised, created and displayed. It is the bond that ties, the desire to connect, the need to communicate and sometimes to simply be. It is about the stuff of human existence and the jarring experience of the human condition.
The idea of art as an expression of human nature is nothing new. It’s age old and while it can provide an entry point into the artworld for the uninitiated through recogniseable forms and relatable interpretation of human emotion, it is just the tip of a large amount of work driven by, and representing, our experiences of the world.
This volume continues the series’ attempt to go beyond seeing sculpture as ‘object’ and delves into the world, work, inspiration, processes, influences, ideas and journeys of artists all who work directly or indirectly with notions of three dimensions. It spans the subtlety and nuances of identity, politics, social interaction, social history, personal endeavour, observation, and the human body.
We present Blood & Wire as Sculptorvox continues its journey into contemporary sculpture.
