Putting The Work into Context

By  Lucy Bevin 2020 - 2022

I returned to model making during my 2 yr MA. Scale models have become useful tools as well as sculptural objects and uncanny entities. While the object is recognisable visually retaining its functionality and role, the reworking of the object and displacing it questions its functionality and renders it strange. The scale model allows me to change and manipulate an existing domestic space and reimagine the space and objects within. The ongoing work continues to challenge the function of the scale model by considering it as a sculptural object.
