Details
Material
28 soy wax tablets, rotated daily, unicol pole
Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a series of rectangular blocks, resembling slabs of stone or concrete, arranged in a row on the floor. The blocks are a pale, off-white color, with a textured surface that suggests a delicate, almost lace-like pattern or embellishment. The overall composition is minimalist and geometric, but the intricate detailing on the blocks adds a sense of fragility and craftsmanship. The artist's intention may be to explore the juxtaposition of hard, industrial materials and soft, organic forms, inviting the viewer to consider the interplay between strength and delicacy in the medium. ...

Jamie Crewe
1987

A self-named ‘vicious changeling’, Jamie Crewe explores themes of identity, community, heartbreak, LGBTQIA+ solidarity and support through an experimental combination of film, installation, sculpture and text. Often taking renowned pieces of literature, film and theatre as their starting point, Crewe creates eloquent works that defy categorization and exist in the cracks of apparently unmovable binaries. In their Solidarity and Love exhibition (Humber Street Gallery, 2020), Crewe explored the legacy of Radclyffe Hall’s 1928 novel The Well of Loneliness among the contemporary queer community. In their Female Executioner exhibition (Gasworks, 2017) they worked with Rachilde’s Monsieur Venus: A Materialist Novel (1884), misreading the novel in relation to the artist’s personal trans experience. Crewe’s moving image works, such as their ‘rural horror’ film, Ashley (2020), address the continuous transformation inherent to a trans life, fueled by a sense of identity and desire, belonging and trauma. In such a way, transformation, through cuts, splits, restagings and reinterpretations, lands at the core of Crewe’s practice. ...
