floence explores the intersection between materiality and self by employing found materials that are laced with traces of human interaction and experience. Motivated by process and form, materiality is unveiled through acts of reversing, skinning, prying open and releasing tension points. Arranging the installation to work with the site, exposing the in-built structures of the material in its most minimal and simplistic form. By revealing what is commonly concealed, there is priority in honouring the beauty located within the ordinary, evoking intimacy and connection for the viewer and self.
