‘Anatomical [an approximation]’ is an installation that situates the intimate, personal and sensuous aspects of corporeal reality in an imposing, urban setting. This exhibition explores how subtle and not-so-subtle strategies of urban design influence human experiences in cities.

About

This work emerges from an ongoing practice that reflects on the daily demands of city-living. In response to transient locations encountered by the artist on regular commutes, this installation focuses on the slick, seamless design of business districts, like Glasgow’s International Financial Services District, where anonymity is coded into spatial interactions. These sites, built with a systematic logic, are at odds with the curious dynamics of experiencing the world through the body, as a fleshy form motivated by desires and needs. Comprising ceramics, printmaking and metal-work the installation explores the interplay between hard and soft, clumsy and serious, public and private. ‘Anatomical [an approximation]’ addresses the tension between rigid urban planning and the impromptu and fluid emergence of cities.
