Last days of my show
‘A letter to my Daughter’

Comprising sculptural assemblages made from found materials—including reclaimed military tent fabric and domestic remnants— the works consider ruins as sites of memory, labor, and transformation. Moving between vulnerability and defiance, Dennis’s sculptures address themes of womanhood, ageing, responsibility, and shelter, foregrounding the emotional and political histories embedded in material form.
Here, the Cat’s Cradle refers to the game in which players take turns to produce different string figures between their fingers. An echo of these improvised, temporary shapes underpins the structure and general precariousness of the sculpture, as though a large hand might swoop in and rearrange its coordinates at any moment. A dishevelled bag sits between its three metal poles and creates a shape reminiscent of a baby’s cradle. There is a dark, brooding quality to the empty space within. Any playfulness carried over from the title is undercut by an intense and ambiguous melancholy.

Yesterday adding the final touches to my solo exhibition
‘A Letter to my Daughter’
⭐️Opening 15th Nov 5-7pm ⭐️
Ruins appear haunted; the delineations between life and death, form and fragmentation, are no longer absolute. This is why ruins are often considered sites of fantasy, transgression and play. At the same time, ruins are born out of cycles of industrial revolution and devolution, capitalist development and the ceaseless pursuit of profit; they are what remains of cities afflicted by war. The ruin as a stage for possibility and the unexpected, as well as a form of testimony to political crisis, shadows the family of sculptures in Jo Dennis’s first solo presentation of her work exclusively in this discipline.
Each sculptural assemblage is comprised of found materials and objects that carry the weight of their abandoned lives. Like us, they have memories.‘ 🫶thank you.
