Victoria Lewis

Through the process of play and the exploration of household objects and fabric I make sculptures which derive from notions of sexuality, fertility, loss and desire. My sculptures often manifest into childish objects which have come about through thoughts of an explicit and adult nature. I choose my materials primarily based on the functional and non functional values of the object or fabric, these tend to have connections to the body or home and I use them to create a language which is then translated visually through sculpture.

Works to date have been driven by fears,isolation, circumstances and thoughts surrounding self, the space within and around self, and the feelings of entrapment within these spaces.
