CAZ HASWELL: THE MOTHER, 2018
Walcha Sculpture Symposium, Walcha, Australia
This work makes reference to architectural form work, the basic shape of a site screen and the female body. The title ‘The Mother’ in context refers to the open screen as a portal or a form of passage from one world/state of consciousness to the next. When my mother was dying and I was coming to terms with the physical demise of her body, I became very aware in contrast, of how that same body as a cell, in its prime gave me life. Women, like form work, are the bones and social fabric that facilitates most culture.
