Past exhibition
Overview
Everyday objects — sauce bottles,cream canisters, recorders — stand in for body-parts and are employed humorously to subvert the tradition of the male nude.
Caitlin’s sculpture-based practice deploys the seductive potential of materiality to engage with questions around sexuality, objectification and power. Everyday objects — sauce bottles,cream canisters, recorders — stand in for body-parts and are employed humorously to subvert the tradition of the male nude. Caitlin’s work also plays with the gallery/museum display case, which typically aims to create a sealed space, protected from the viewers touch. Instead,objects literally penetrate the display cases, poking fun at partitioning the intellectual and the bodily, tempting the viewer.
