Stretch 2 (2006) is included in the group exhibition Flesh at
It’s only the second time I’ve exhibited this work. It’s a monotype ghost, 30x30cm, capturing the subtle details of sculptural musculation without any additional work or materials - pure monotype.
Stretch 2 comes from a period before I began drawing dancers (2007), a moment in my practice where I was searching for more than simply representing the n**e. I wanted to evoke emotion, movement, energy, a feeling - using the body for expression. My models contorted themselves in twists and turns, pushing themselves for me to photograph, which I then turned into monotypes.
Looking back, I realize what I was searching for is exactly what dancers do: communicate with their body. Twenty years on, the artwork feels like a quiet conversation across time, between what I was seeking and what I’ve come to understand.
Stretch 2 can be seen with many other explorations of the body in SOL Gallery’s Flesh.
