Unnamed Saints 2023
The solo presentation at Coleman Projects, London (May/June 2023) marked the culmination of work and research begun during my time as Bridget Riley Fellow at the British School Rome (2021/22) and coincided with my residency at St John’s College Oxford.
The exhibition was comprised of two parts, a central film work anchored by a reworking of the installation DETRITUS, originally formulated in Rome, the prints and drawings also feature in the film. The primary installation of drawings appear to spill out of the walls and grow in fragments across the ground. The drawings offer a petri-dish view of “unswept floors” and what might have littered them over time. Shaped like animal skins, they bear the evidence of all manner of historically loaded and scattered remnants: relics, gilded bones, walnuts and bodily traces.

The film imagines a dead saint’s return to earth to find her body “scattered, torn apart, spread so thin, untraceable”. She lists all the ways it has been erased - endlessly replicated, worshipped and desecrated - her voice travelling through different periods and locations in Italy’s history. LINK TO VIDEO
