neutroportal draws together amorphic forms conceived through breath, motion and the manipulation of materials such as glass. The exhibition explores the dissonance between the body as site of personal and medical experience.
Glass as a material is often associated with beauty, but in this work it is interrupted, pierced, distorted, held or encased. There are foreign materials embedded in the glass which create internal fractures. These fractures are portals to moments of instability and an exploration of the wounded body as a vessel for transformation and the queer body as a site for recreation.
Interrogating the disciplines associated with the chosen materials, each work has undergone a careful process of deconstruction and reconstruction. As such, the investigative and intentional aspects are indistinguishable, defying any binary understanding of the works. The viewer is invited to consider each work as existing within neutrality and invited to witness the careful reconstruction of a symbiosis between the body and the external components it is dependent upon.
